Summary of the Conference League qualifiers: Lugano - Hapoel Be'er Sheva 2:0 (Sport1)

Hapoel Be'er Sheva sent a letter to UEFA this morning (Monday) in which they clarified that after the ceasefire reached last night between Israel and the Islamic Jihad, the security situation in the south of the country has been restored and that there is no further point in discussing the non-holding of the match against Lugano on Thursday at Turner Stadium. Sheva reacted this morning in light of the query sent by Logano to UEFA the other day, in which the Swiss asked to understand whether they should fly to play in Israel while fighting is going on just tens of kilometers from Beer Sheva.

Yesterday there was no activity at UEFA due to the Sunday rest and today the organization's headquarters in Nyon are supposed to address Logano's request. If UEFA decides to intervene and remove the game from Beer Sheva, either to move it to a stadium further north in Israel or to demand that the game be removed from Israel, Hapoel Beer Sheva will appeal the decision.

In any case, the club will be waiting in the coming hours to hear UEFA's position and as mentioned they went ahead and sent a letter containing a factual and explicit reference to the security situation in Israel which returned to normal after a ceasefire agreement was reached last night mediated by Egypt.

The club hopes to get the approval to hold the game in Turner and then the club is sure that the fans of the team will fill the stands to push the team to complete the task after the great victory last Thursday in Lugano.

"After the tension that was here last weekend, it is certain that the fans will want to let loose in the stands and expend all their energy for the benefit of qualifying for the next stage," they said in the morning club.
