The UEFA Nations League match between the Israeli national team and Belgium’s Red Devils was scheduled to take place on Sept. 6 at the King Baudouin Stadium.
The city of Brussels is refusing to host a soccer match with Israel set to take place this fall due to “the humanitarian and security situation in Gaza and its many consequences,” local officials said on Wednesday.
“Given the dramatic situation in the Middle East, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Brussels considers it impossible to organize a high-risk match on its territory,” the capital city announced.
The UEFA Nations League match between the Israeli national team and Belgium’s “Red Devils” was scheduled to take place on Sept. 6 at the King Baudouin Stadium, but ticket sales were put on hold last month.
