FAI tight-lipped on venue switch for Israel game

The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) stated on March 18, 2024, that it will "continue to meet to discuss the operational aspects" of hosting Israel in the Nations League. The FAI has not yet confirmed the venue for the upcoming match, which has been a subject of discussion and concern. This follows a decision by UEFA to impose a partial stadium ban on Israel for their home matches due to security concerns. The FAI has indicated that discussions are ongoing regarding the logistical and security arrangements for the fixture, which is scheduled for later this year. The association is reportedly considering several options for the match venue, with a decision expected in the coming weeks. The FAI has emphasized its commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all participants and spectators.
