UEFA has approved the request of Israeli Football Association Chairman Shino Zuaretz to allow the Israeli national team to wear black armbands in the match against Ireland, in memory of the victims of the October 7 massacre. The Israeli request was also submitted in light of the fact that in the previous match between the teams in Debrecen, the Irish players wore black armbands in memory of 'all victims of the conflict.' Israel sought to hold a tribute to the Israeli victims, especially ahead of the memorial day for the massacre, which will be marked in three days.
