Brussels has refused to host a Nations League match between Israel and Belgium on September 6 because it could spark demonstrations, city authorities said on Wednesday.
They said in a statement that holding such a match while the war in Gaza was continuing"will undoubtedly provoke large demonstrations and counter-demonstrations, compromising the safety of spectators, players, Brussels residents and also the police". The Belgian Football Federation said it would have accepted that the match take place behind closed doors but it deeply regretted that the Belgian capital had refused to host the game at all.
"We deplore the decision taken by the City of Brussels -- which has a lot of experience of organising big events -- to not organise the match in our stronghold," the federation said. The federation said it was in contact with several cities and the security services about finding an alternative venue.Concerns were likely raised by the attack in Brussels in October in which an Islamist gunman killed two Swedish football fans, although the motive of the attack was not anti-Semitic.Former president of Landi Kotal Press Club shot dead by unknown assailants
