The European Football Association has announced that an inspector will be appointed on his behalf to investigate the events of the game in Germany between Union Berlin and the Israeli champions, during which antisemitic shouts were heard and the Israeli flag was burned.


Although the events in question did not make headlines in Israel, the UEFA announced tonight (Tuesday) that they intend to investigate the antisemitic incidents during the game between Union Berlin and Maccabi Haifa in the regional league last Thursday.

It was also announced on behalf of the European Football Association that in the coming days an inspector would be appointed on his behalf to investigate the disciplinary offenses, which were apparently committed by me by the German fans.

It should be noted that during the game, several media outlets in Germany reported that antisemitic shouts were heard from one of the stands and that the Israeli flag was burned.

Although 24 hours after the game, the Union Berlin officially apologized for the behavior of the fans, but following the media echo that was created, apparently the violent events did not quickly get off the agenda.
