The Israeli national football team will wear black armbands during their UEFA Nations League match against Ireland on Sunday, in memory of those killed in the October 7th massacre. This decision comes after the Football Association's request was approved by UEFA, just three days before the third anniversary of the attack. The Irish team is also expected to protest against Israel during the game, as they did in their previous encounter. The match, which is considered a home game for Ireland, will be held in Bačka Topola, Serbia, behind closed doors. The Irish Football Association cited operational challenges as the reason for hosting the game in Serbia rather than Dublin.
