According to Irish national broadcaster RTÉ, Ireland manager Heimir Halgrímsson has urged UEFA to avoid scheduling future matches between Ireland and Israel.

Halgrímsson said: "Of course, Ireland sends strong support to Palestine. Not many countries support Palestine as much as Ireland does. I hope no national team experiences what we went through over the past two weeks. UEFA may need to step in and take action."

In the controversial Nations League matches, the teams drew 1-1 in Ireland's "home" fixture held Sunday in Bačka Topola, Serbia. A week earlier, in Israel's "home" match in Debrecen, Hungary, Ireland won 3-0.

Referring to the actions of Israeli players and media, Halgrímsson said: "There were many instances where the situation could have escalated. We were careful to defuse it in time to prevent things from getting worse. We felt their intention was to intimidate us and provoke us into doing something stupid."
