Ireland players to wear black armbands for Nations League Israel match

Ireland players to wear black armbands for Nations League Israel match

Republic of Ireland players will wear black armbands to acknowledge all lives lost in the Gaza conflict during Sunday's Nations League match against Israel in Hungary. The decision came after a squad vote, with a significant majority choosing to play despite one player withdrawing in protest. The players also plan to make a charitable donation from their match fees for both Israel games.
