Protesters gather outside Dublin's Aviva Stadium ahead of Ireland-Israel match

Around 200 protesters gathered near Dublin's Aviva Stadium demanding that the Irish national team boycott their upcoming Nations League match against Israel.

The demonstration took place in the vicinity of the sporting venue, where those present expressed their opposition to the Irish side playing the match against the Israeli team.

Boycott demand

The protesters are calling on the Football Association of Ireland to cancel or boycott the national team's participation in the match, though no official response from the association has been reported.

No incidents of violence were reported during the gathering, which remained in the vicinity of the stadium without any reported public order disturbances.

The authorities have not indicated whether additional security measures will be taken for the match in light of the protesters' presence, nor has it been confirmed whether further protests will take place ahead of the game.

Protests related to national teams playing matches against Israel have taken place in several European countries in the context of the conflict in the Middle East.
