People Before Profit on the FAI's decision not to allow Ireland fans into Israel V Ireland fixture: "It's time to end the sportswashing of Israel's crimes and call the game off"

The FAI have confirmed that no tickets will be sold to Republic of Ireland supporters for the UEFA Nations League fixtures with Israel. "The Football Association of Ireland confirms that it will not facilitate in-stadium access to Ireland supporters for either of its 2026-27 UEFA Nations League Fixtures with Israel," read a statement from the organisers. The Israel Football Association have confirmed that a small allocation of its own supporters "will be accommodated" for their home game. The decision to fulfil the fixtures without Ireland supporters in attendance has generated opposition and protest. The fixture will come just four days after Ireland open their Nations League campaign with their first-ever meeting against Kosovo in Pristina on Thursday, September 24.
