UEFA Nations League
Ireland beat Israel 3–0 in a UEFA Nations League Group B3 match in Hungary on 27 September, earning its first win in the group.
The result followed Ireland’s loss to Kosovo three days earlier. The fixture was the first of two Nations League matches scheduled between Ireland and Israel.
Ireland’s players wore black armbands. The Football Association of Ireland said they recognised all lives lost in the Gaza conflict.
The Al Jazeera report described the match as politically charged but gave no further details about the game.
