Ireland-Austria match postponed amid protests
The Ireland vs. Austria match in the UEFA Nations League was briefly halted due to protests protesting the Irish team's participation in a game against Israel. Fans threw tennis balls bearing the Palestinian flag onto the Aviv A stadium. Ireland is among the outspoken critics of Israel's war in Gaza. The match was stopped in the 20th minute after the balls were thrown, amid calls from the fans to boycott Ireland's matches against Israel. The Irish Football Association decided to move the upcoming match against Israel to Serbia without spectators. Additionally, some players withdrew from the match; goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu recently pulled out of the squad due to his stance but later returned to sit on the bench.
