Leuven mayor blocks Europa League match against Israeli club citing safety concerns
x/union-of-european-football-associations
— 1d
Leuven’s mayor blocked a Europa League match between Union Saint-Gilloise and Hapoel Be’er Sheva citing public-safety concerns amid the Gaza war, forcing Union to find an alternate venue. The move fits a broader pattern of Israeli clubs playing home matches in neutral venues for security reasons, including past incidents in Europe.

This keeps happening across Europe with Israeli clubs. At some point UEFA needs a consistent policy instead of leaving it to individual mayors to decide.
