Pro-Palestinian Groups Plan Protest Outside Maccabi Tel Aviv's Conference League Match
Maccabi Tel Aviv is set to play against Lugano away on Thursday in the Conference League playoff. Ahead of the match, several pro-Palestinian organizations announced plans to hold a protest outside the game as part of the international campaign "Show Israel The Red Card." This campaign has previously included fan protests at matches such as Celtic's, aiming to push for Israel's suspension from FIFA.
The protest organizers promised a "prominent, determined, and peaceful" demonstration. Currently, the match is expected to proceed as scheduled without significant concerns about disruptions or crowd restrictions. This follows a previous incident where Maccabi Tel Aviv's Europa League game against Aston Villa was played behind closed doors, sparking controversy in England.
The groups involved have joined forces to coordinate the protest, but no immediate threat to the game's conduct or attendance is anticipated at this stage.
