Israel lacks fan support against Kosovo

Around 100 tickets have been bought for the match against Kosovo by Israeli fans. This is what the Israeli media outlet “One” reported on Wednesday.

Israel is hosting the match, which will be played on Thursday in Debrecen, Hungary, and kicks off at 20:45.

“Debrecen is used to hosting Israel when it cannot play at home, but this time the numbers are particularly low. At present, only around 100 fans have bought tickets for the match, so the team is expected to receive very little Israeli support from the stands in a match it needs to win. The federation is aware that the situation that has arisen is a combination of the long period away from Israel and the decline in enthusiasm following the recent results. For Israeli fans, attending a ‘home’ match has turned into a trip abroad, and when this is combined with two consecutive defeats, the desire to attend naturally diminishes even further,” the Israeli media outlet writes.

Israel is bottom of Group B3 without a point. Kosovo is second with three points.
