Ofir Haim's team faces Uruguay in the semi-finals of the World Cup. Israel wants to secure its place in the final on its tournament debut.

Uruguay comes with a rather lackluster squad to match, but with support from thousands in the stands in La Plata near the border between the two countries. The most prominent name in the team is 20-year-old midfielder Fabricio Diaz. Israel: Tomer Sarfati, Eili Feingold, Stav Lemkin, Or Israelov, Roy Revivo, El-Yam Kanzpolsky, Eli Madmon, Thai Abed, Anan Halaili, Hamza Shibli, Dor Turgeman. Uruguay: Randal Rodríguez, Rodrigo Chagas, Sebastián Boselli, Facundo González.
