UEFA has approved a request from the Chairman of the Football Association, Shino Zuarz, allowing the Israeli national team to wear black armbands during their match against Ireland. The armbands will serve as a memorial to the victims of the October 7th massacre. The Israeli request was also prompted by the fact that during the previous match between the two teams in Debrecen, the Irish players wore black armbands to commemorate "all victims of the conflict." Israel sought to honor its own victims, particularly with the upcoming commemoration of the October 7th massacre just three days away.
