The Israel Football Association requested a 30-minute delay for the evening soccer match between Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Be'er Sheva at Sammy Ofer Stadium, but the Israel Police have so far refused. The league cited massive traffic jams outside the stadium, which could cause thousands of fans to miss the kickoff. The police's refusal is due to the upcoming national elections on Tuesday, October 27th. The game was originally moved up to 7:00 PM to ease the burden on police officers working both on game day and election day. Despite continued pressure from the league and support for the delay from Maccabi Haifa, the police remain firm in their decision. The match is currently scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM.
