Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv plays soccer game without incident in Hungary after Amsterdam violence

Associated Press  

DEBRECEN, Hungary — Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv’s game against Besiktas in the Europa League was played without incident before empty stands in Hungary on Thursday, with the stadium closed to fans over security concerns following attacks on Israeli supporters in Amsterdam this month. After the match, Maccabi coach Zarko Lazetic said playing in front of an empty stadium without fans is always a struggle for the team. The Thursday match was Maccabi’s first in Europe since its fans were assaulted in the Netherlands on Nov. 7 in attacks that were condemned as antisemitic by authorities in Israel and across Europe. Even before the Amsterdam attacks, the European soccer body UEFA announced that Thursday’s Europa League match, originally scheduled to take place in Istanbul, would be moved to a neutral venue “following a decision by the Turkish authorities.” Hungary, which has hosted several home games for Israel’s national team since the war in Gaza began, agreed to host the game.
