From Romania, through Senegal to Guadeloupe. 23 players from Israel went to represent 15 national teams around the globe. The picture is complete


Summary of Maccabi Haifa's victory 1:2 over MS.

Ashdod (Sport 1)

The soccer leagues around the world went on a short break and cleared the stage in the coming days for national team matches.

While Israel prepares for the meetings with Kosovo and Switzerland, no less than 23 footballers who play in our two top leagues went out to represent 15 different national teams.

A snapshot ahead of busy days with international games.



Hapoel Haifa has four representatives in this week's team games, but that doesn't mean much because lower playoff teams like Hapoel Tel Aviv, Bnei Sakhnin and Kiryat Shmona also sent a lot of players to the teams.

Maccabi Haifa with three and Maccabi Tel Aviv is among the teams not represented in the senior national teams (Raresh Ilia was invited to the Romanian youth team).

A certain surprise comes from the National League, in which four players who received summonses are playing.

Europe

Moldova -

Ion Nicolaescu

has been called up to the Moldova squad that will open the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign with home games against the Faroe Islands (Friday) and the Czech Republic (Monday).

In coach Sergey Kalashchenko's squad, there is another "Israeli" player:

Arthur Krachon

from Hapoel Kfar Saba.

Romania - Adrian Faun



's good form

in Hapoel Be'er Sheva helped him to return to the national uniform and he is in the squad for the matches against Andorra and Belarus in the "House of Israel" in the qualifiers for Euro 2024. Faun has one previous appearance, in a friendly match against England in June 2021. Lithuania - it is difficult to find a round of call-ups for the national

team Lithuania that did not include a player from the Israeli Premier League and in the current one there are three: goalkeepers

Zigos Bartakus

(Kiryat Shmona City) and

Emilius Zubas

(Hapoel Tel Aviv) and winger

Arvydas Novikovas



(Hapoel Haifa).

In fact, all three Lithuanians who play in the Premier League were invited to the away games against Serbia and Greece in the Euro 2024 qualifiers.



Belarus - Fawn is not the only representative of the Premier League in the "Israeli House".

Belarus will host Switzerland (Besserbia) on Saturday and will be hosted by Romania on Tuesday and its squad includes Hapoel Haifa's defender,

Denis Polyakov

, and Kiryat Shmona's offensive player,

Ivan Bachar

.



Montenegro -

Alexander Bulejevich

came to Hapoel Tel Aviv from the Belgian league, among other things, to accumulate playing minutes and prove that he has a place in the national team and meanwhile it is working for him.

The midfielder was invited to the matches against Bulgaria and Serbia, his first call-up after two years.



Bulgaria -

Flamen Glavov

from Maccabi Netanya and

Yoni Stoyanov

from Meskja Nes Ziona, have become a permanent part of the national team since Mladen Krastaic was appointed coach.

Both have been invited this time as well, when Bulgaria will play against Montenegro and Hungary in the Euro 2024 qualifiers.

Guadalupe is trained by the great Jocelyn Anglom.
