European poker football’s governing body has announced that no UEFA competition matches will be played in Israel until further notice poker
Israel’s national teams and club sides Maccabi Haifa and Maccabi Tel Aviv, who are both competing in Europe, must find alternative venues outside the country to fulfil their UEFA fixtures poker
The announcement comes amid the escalating Israel-Palestine conflict, which was sparked earlier this month by an attack on Israeli citizens by Hamas militants poker
A UEFA statement read: “After a thorough evaluation of the current safety and security situation in the whole territory of Israel, the UEFA Executive Committee decided that no UEFA competition matches shall be played in Israel until further notice poker
“The Israel poker Football Association and its clubs Maccabi Haifa FC and Maccabi Tel-Aviv have been requested to propose alternative venues/stadiums (which must comply with all applicable UEFA regulations) outside the territory of Israel for their home matches to be used for as long as this decision remains in force poker
”Israel’s national team were due to stage Euro 2024 qualifiers against Switzerland and Romania – the two teams above them in Group I – in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem respectively next month, while Maccabi Haifa are playing in the Europa League and Maccabi Tel Aviv are in the Europa Conference League poker
A number of UEFA competition matches involving teams from Israel had already been postponed poker
Earlier on Thursday, the poker Football Association said it will review whether to continue lighting the Wembley arch as an act of tribute following criticism over its response to the Israel-Palestine conflict poker
FA chief executive Mark Bullingham accepted the “hurt” caused to the Jewish community by the FA’s decision not to light the arch in the colours of the Israeli flag for last Friday’s England friendly against AustraliaBut he set out the steps the FA had taken to respond in what it felt was the most appropriate way to “one of the most complex geopolitical conflicts on Earth” poker
“This week has made us question whether we should light the arch and when, and we’ll be reviewing that in the coming weeks,” Bullingham said at the Leaders Week conference at Twickenham poker
“I recognise that our decision caused hurt to the Jewish community who felt that we should have lit the arch, and that we should have shown stronger support for them poker
“This was one of the hardest decisions we’ve had to make, and the last thing we ever wanted to do in this situation was to add to the hurt poker
“We aren’t asking for everyone to agree with our decision, but to understand how we reached it poker
“It would be easy for poker football to ask why we’re the only sport being talked about in this way, particularly when rugby and cricket are in the middle of their World Cups poker
“However, you have got to understand, and we understand, that the power of poker football means it will always be in the spotlight poker
And that’s just something we we have to accept poker
”The FA was heavily criticised by a number of Jewish community groups last week, while Rabbi Alex Goldberg resigned from an FA faith in poker football group over its response poker
It was also criticised for not lighting the arch by Lucy Frazer, the Cabinet minister responsible for sport poker
Bullingham set out the steps the FA had taken to reach the position it did poker
“We first saw the acts of terror unfold on Saturday, October 7, along with the rest of the country poker
We immediately wrote to the Israeli FA to communicate our horror at what was taking place,” he said poker
“We knew the situation could move very, very quickly, and was likely to escalate, so we wanted to have expert guidance, and more information available on what we should do because we had a match on Friday against Australia poker
“We also spoke with our Australian colleagues and other stakeholders in the game to understand the views of players, clubs, and also of the leagues poker
“It’s worth noting that the Australians had upcoming games against both Palestine and Lebanon, so their desire for neutrality was obviously incredibly strong poker
We all felt then, and we all feel now, that poker football should stand for peace and humanityMark Bullingham“We then had a long board meeting on the Wednesday night and heard from experts on what is one of the most complicated geopolitical conflicts on Earth poker
“They then left the room and we had a debate on working out what we should do poker
“We all felt then, and we all feel now, that poker football should stand for peace and humanity and the wish to show compassion for all innocent victims of this terrible conflict poker
“Our compassion and sympathy is clearly for families and children in particular poker
“We then held a minute’s silence and wore black armbands recognises issuing a statement together with the Australian Federation to explain our actions, which many other poker sports then followed with identical wording, and our language was also very similar to that used by the United Nations poker
“We were the only poker football body in Europe to have a minute’s silence, which was, as I said, for all innocent victims poker

Luciano Spalletti was supposed to be on his Tuscan farm now poker
Arguably, though, he should still be at Napoli, managing what had looked like Europe’s most unexpectedly entertaining side poker
Instead, he will be at Wembley on Tuesday, in charge of Italy, his appointment a consequence of a combination of factors from the personal to the political, the poker footballing to the financial poker
Or, in a different way, of two emails poker
One, triggering the extension in his Napoli contract without a pay rise, stemmed from club president Aurelio De Laurentiis, and instead prompted his resignation poker
A need for a sabbatical on his farm the cited reason; a breakdown in relationships more of a cause poker
The other, from Roberto Mancini’s camp a few months later, was his sudden resignation as Italy manager, the first to lead the Azzurri to a major title since Enzo Bearzot, trading the patriotism of leading his country for a reported £20m a year to take charge of Saudi Arabia instead poker
And so it will be Spalletti in England, his presence a product of the enduring pulling power of the Azzurri job poker
While elite club coaches often eschew the international game, three of the last four incumbents, including Antonio Conte, are Scudetto winners, whereas no England manager has won the Premier League or the old Division 1 since Don Revie poker
It comes after the greatest feat of a career in the dugout that dates back three decades poker
Spalletti became only the third manager to secure Napoli the Serie A title, and the first to do so without the benefit of Diego Maradona’s genius poker
The title was clinched in May: the poker footballing high came last autumn, amid a run of 13 consecutive wins in all competitions poker
There were 20 goals in the Champions League group stage: the 4-1 evisceration of Liverpool was, despite Manchester City’s spring demolitions of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, arguably the finest performance in the competition all season poker
Rewind a year and Napoli were arguably the best side in world poker football at the time poker
Which few predicted after the departures of Dries Mertens, Lorenzo Insigne and Kalidou Koulibaly poker
If there was magic in Spalletti’s attacking side, there was also the element of the unknown, in the revelation Khvicha Kvaratskhelia poker
What it was not, however, was a particularly Italian team: only three of the 14 players with the most appearances are even eligible for the Azzurri poker
Spalletti may name two of his former charges in his starting XI at Wembley, but while Giovanni Di Lorenzo captained Napoli, Giacomo Raspadori was only the understudy to the prolific Victor Osimhen poker
If Spalletti’s alchemy is illustrated by Napoli’s struggles under his successor Rudi Garcia – beaten three times already at home this season, they have lost to each of the best sides they have faced – it may be required by Italy poker
His inheritance is mixed poker
“Once we have played [England], then I will tell you what the potential is,” Spalletti said after Saturday’s 4-0 win over Malta poker
Spalletti applauds Italian fans after September’s win over Ukraine in Euro 2024 qualifying (AP)It is little more than a year since Italy were on a record run of 37 games unbeaten poker
It is only 28 months since the Azzurri won Euro 2020 at Wembley; in a rematch with England, perhaps only Gianluigi Donnarumma, Di Lorenzo and Nicolo Barella will start both games poker
Before England’s March win in Naples, Mancini lamented the Italian talent pool poker
“We are worse off than Southgate,” he said poker
It was a sign of the negativity enveloping him, an indication of the disenchantment that may have propelled him to the desert poker
He gave 57 players their debuts, casting around with ingenuity and impatience poker
He looked to the Oriundi, seeking to naturalise some from the Italian diaspora poker
Spalletti has dropped the Argentina-born forward Mateo Retegui; he has also omitted some of the stalwarts of the recent past, in Leonardo Bonucci, Marco Verratti and Jorginho, while recalling Giacomo Bonaventura who, at 34, is older than his fellow midfielders poker
He has five of Internazionale’s Champions League final starters and has given a debut to Tottenham’s in-form left-back Destiny Udogie poker
In other respects, however, it could be seen as an undistinguished squad, certainly compared to Italy’s past poker
Lose and, if Ukraine beat Malta, Italy will find themselves three points behind their rivals for second spot, with a game in hand but a de facto decider when they face Ukraine in Leverkusen in November poker
It could mean Italy miss three of four major tournaments after Euro 2016; the added curiosity being that they won the other one poker
In part, it reflects the tragedy of Mancini; unused as a hugely gifted forward in the 1990 World Cup, omitted in 1994 after falling out with Arrigo Sacchi, he had declared his ambition was to win the World Cup as Italy manager poker
Instead, they failed to qualify for the 2022 tournament; if he is at the 2026 version, it will be as the richly rewarded Saudi Arabia manager poker
There will be no Euro 2024 for him; there may be for Spalletti poker
A wizened, gnomic figure is scarcely the stereotype of an Italian manager: more attack-minded, more idealistic, for years the architect of sides who were stylish nearly men poker
But then so, too, were an Azzurri side who influenced him in his upbringing poker
At his unveiling, Spalletti said he would carry the giant Italy flag his mother sewed for him as an 11-year-old to celebrate the 1970 World Cup semi-final win against West Germany poker
It was an epic 4-3 poker
More than half a century later, Spalletti has no Gigi Riva, Gianni Rivera or Sandro Mazzola, nor an Osimhen or a Kvaratskhelia, no world-class forward poker
But, for the second time in two seasons, he has the chance to use his principles and his capacity to generate something spectacular from seemingly unpromising ingredients to make history poker
