Orr-Yann Goran, a 17-year-old midfielder playing for Barcelona's reserve team, is expected to be called up to the senior Israel national football team by coach Ran Ben Shimon for upcoming matches against Kosovo and Austria. This decision comes after the Israeli U21 team, coached by Guy Luzon, lost its chance to qualify for the European Championship following a draw with Norway. An agreement between Ben Shimon and Luzon stipulated that Goran would play for the U21s as long as they had a chance to qualify.
Goran, considered a significant prospect at Barcelona's La Masia academy, has been monitored by Ben Shimon for some time. The national team coach recognizes the faith placed in the young Israeli by Barcelona and coach Xavi. Despite a poor start to their qualifying campaign, with only two points from their first four games, the coaching staff remains optimistic and is conducting an internal review of the team's performance.
Football Association Chairman Shino Zuarz has stated that Ben Shimon will continue as coach for the next campaign. However, it is understood that if the national team finishes fourth in their group, Zuarz's commitment may not hold.
