Isreal – Hamas War: UEFA postpones Israel, Switzerland Euro 2024 qualifier match

Due to the unrest in the nation, UEFA confirmed on Sunday that the Thursday Euro 2024 qualifying match between Israel and Switzerland has been postponed.

 “In light of the current security situation in Israel, UEFA has decided to postpone all matches scheduled in Israel in the next couple of weeks with new dates to be confirmed in due course,” UEFA said in a statement.

UEFA said it also “reserves a few more days to assess whether the European qualifiers 2024 match Kosovo–Israel can take place on the originally planned date of October 15 or requires postponement”.

 “UEFA will continue to closely monitor the situation and will remain in contact with all teams involved before making decisions on new dates and on potential changes to other upcoming fixtures,” the statement added.

Along with a European Under-17 mini-tournament between Israel, Belgium, Gibraltar, and Wales from October 11 to 17, two European Under-21 matches between Israel and Estonia on October 12 and Germany on October 17 have also been postponed.
