Also, European soccer federations and clubs are not refusing to play Israeli opponents. Israel has dug in its heels in the face of international isolation and criticism of its military campaign against Gaza. In Europe, several sports federations have groused about having to play Israeli teams, while noting they have no choice since Israel isnt banned from international competitions. Norway, which will play Israel on Oct. 11, said it would donate profits from ticket sales to Doctors Without Borders for its humanitarian work in Gaza. Protests inside stadiums are regularly seen in European soccer, even at the Champions League final in May.
