Hapoel Beer Sheva is closely monitoring the security situation and is awaiting instructions from UEFA on the location of the match against Lugano of Switzerland in the rematch of the Conference League qualifiers (Thursday, 20:00).
The fear in the capital of the Negev is that the game will be copied outside the borders of Israel, which will cause losses of hundreds of thousands of shekels, both due to the loss of income from the audience at Toto Turner and due to the large expenses associated with flights and hospitality abroad. According to club officials, "the losses could reach over one and a half million shekels ".
In Be'er Sheva they received the official message from the Swiss last night that they are calling on their fans not to purchase packages to Israel with the understanding that the game will not take place in their territory.
As we know, the UEFA offices are in Switzerland and the understanding is that the heads of Lugano already understand the picture and are exerting pressure not to come to Israel.
Beer Sheva, for its part, understands the security situation in the south, but will try through the soccer association to move the game to the Sami Ofer Stadium in Haifa.
At the same time, the pressure of the heads of Lugano is great and as mentioned, they also have an influence on the decision makers in the European football organization.
