The Israeli national team decided not to exchange shirts with the Republic of Ireland players after the completion of the Nations League match. According to Gerela, the decision is related to the statement of the head coach of the Irish team, Heimir Hallgrimsson, in front of the team.
The Ireland coach spoke about his team's position regarding the situation in Israel, declaring: "
After these words, the Israeli side decided to consider the traditional exchange of T-shirts after the final whistle. We are talking about this gesture itself, and not about other possible actions of football players during the match.
Recently, the Football Association of Ireland has given its citizens the opportunity to independently determine whether they want to work, be it symbolic gestures or other actions between the ties..
