About five hours before the game scheduled for tonight (Wednesday) at 19:00, the game in Norway between the local team and the Israeli team was canceled immediately, in accordance with the decision of the authorities in Norway and following the worsening of the closure in the country.
The Football Association said: "As long as we have more information, we will update. There is no connection to the presence of a positive Moans Dabour virus."
It should be noted that the two teams were supposed to meet following the UEFA decision to hold a game between the two losers in the semi-finals of the promotion playoffs to the Euros.
Already yesterday, Sharan Yeni, captain of Maccabi Tel Aviv and player of the Israeli national team, clarified that in his opinion the game in Norway is unnecessary for the final, due to the second corona wave, which makes it difficult to hold games: "I think it would have been better to give up these games to keep everyone healthy."
