Israel’s national football team faces France tomorrow (14/11) at the “Stade de France” for the Nations League, with Ran Ben Simon’s team training in a… secret location.
“We feel pretty safe here, there are a lot of security forces around us. They are doing the right thing and I am focusing on the game,” Israel’s national coach said in a video posted by the Israeli federation.
The player of the national team, Ethan Azoulay, confirms that the players feel safe and that now he and his teammates can concentrate on the match. “The police are doing their job and our minds are completely on football. It’s a shame that Jews can’t come to the game, but that’s the way it is for now and we’re focusing on football,” he said in the same video.
After last week’s unprecedented incidents in Amsterdam, when Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were attacked, Thursday’s match in France is considered “high risk” by the authorities. At the same time, because of the incidents, the Israeli authorities on Sunday called on the fans to avoid going to the “Stade de France”.
