FAI set to come under pressure to allow members vote on contentious games against Israel as SIPTU calls for boycott
"The FAI are set to face pressure from within the Irish football community to allow a vote from the Association's General Assembly to make the call on whether the Nations League games with Israel later this year should go ahead."
"In November, an EGM of the decision-making body returned a 93pc vote in favour of submitting a motion to Uefa calling for the banning of Israel from European club and international competitions."
The FAI could face internal pressure to permit a General Assembly vote on whether scheduled Nations League matches with Israel later this year should take place. A November EGM of the Association's decision-making body produced a 93pc vote supporting submission of a motion to Uefa to ban Israel from European club and international competitions. The strong EGM result indicates significant support within the Association for formal action against Israel's participation in UEFA competitions. The outcome of any General Assembly vote could determine whether fixtures proceed, are relocated, postponed, or otherwise altered.
