The Republic of Ireland's football squad has voted to proceed with its scheduled Nations League match against Israel on Sunday, according to a report from Al Jazeera.
The decision followed internal discussions among the players over whether to play the fixture, amid a broader debate in some sporting circles about matches involving Israeli teams during the ongoing regional conflict.
The report did not detail the exact process or margin of the squad's vote, nor did it specify whether any players expressed dissent from the final decision.
The match will proceed as part of the Nations League competition schedule, with the Irish squad's decision to play coming alongside separate plans by the Football Association of Ireland to wear black armbands during the game.
The fixture is expected to draw continued attention both for its competitive stakes and the surrounding public debate.
