The Turkish authorities have decided not to host the upcoming match between Israeli team Maccabi Tel Aviv and Turkish team Besiktas, moving it to a neutral venue in Hungary due to security concerns following recent clashes in Amsterdam.
The match, originally scheduled for Istanbul, will now take place at the Nágerdi stadium in Debrecen, Hungary, on November 28, 2024, without an audience as a precautionary measure.
Social media reactions highlight a growing sentiment against hosting Israeli teams, with users expressing fears of violence and calling for international boycotts against Israeli sports participation.
This incident reflects broader tensions surrounding Israeli-Palestinian relations and the impact on international sporting events, as countries reconsider their willingness to host matches involving Israeli teams.
