The Football Association of Ireland’s General Assembly has officially backed a motion to go ahead with the Republic of Ireland’s Nations League games against Israel. The vote came during the association’s annual meeting, where members decided to keep the fixtures on the calendar.

This means the Irish men’s national team will face Israel in their upcoming Nations League matches as planned. No changes have been made to the schedule.

What the Motion Means for the Team

By endorsing the motion, the FAI has confirmed that the matches will take place under normal conditions. The team will prepare as usual, with training camps and travel arrangements moving forward.

• The games are part of the UEFA Nations League competition.
• Ireland and Israel are in the same group for this season.
• The fixtures include both home and away legs.
