The Republic of Ireland’s upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures against Israel will go ahead after the squad voted to play the matches.

Players in the Irish squad held a vote to decide whether to honour the scheduled games. The result was a majority in favour of proceeding, meaning the fixtures will remain on the calendar.

The decision follows a broader debate over whether Ireland should play Israel, with some supporters and opponents raising concerns about the political implications of the matches.

With the vote completed, the Irish Football Association will move forward with the arrangements for the two games, which are part of the Nations League competition.
