Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to attend an upcoming football match at Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem, marking his first appearance at a game of his favored team, Beitar Jerusalem, in nearly five years. The match, set to take place between Beitar Jerusalem and Maccabi Tel Aviv, will occur just a week before national elections.

Security arrangements are being made at Teddy Stadium in anticipation of the Prime Minister's arrival. The stadium is expected to be filled to capacity with an estimated 30,000 fans.

This event follows a recent directive from the Football League management regarding the presence of politicians at league games. While not prohibiting attendance, the directive prohibits politicians from entering locker rooms and taking photos with players.

Separately, Justice Minister Yariv Levin, a known supporter of Hapoel Tel Aviv, was reportedly expelled from a recent Hapoel Tel Aviv match by a group of fans. Some fans expressed pride in the expulsion, while others condemned the action due to differing political views.
