AFA President Apologizes to Israel

After the friendly match between Argentina and Israel was recently canceled, the President of the Argentina Federation of Labor (AFA) spoke for the first time.

He spoke at a press conference held in Barcelona (Spain) on June 6: Yesterday, the decision that the Argentina team will not go to Israel and play a friendly match with the national team was made. We apologize to Argentines living in Israel and to Israelans who have spent money to buy tickets to see the Argentina gate.

According to the original plan, the match would not take place at Teddy Stadium in the capital Jerusalem. However, this stadium was built on the land of a Palestinian village that was destroyed by Israel.

For this reason, many Palestinians have expressed their dissatisfaction. The president of the Palestine Federation of Labor - Jibrill Rajoub even called on fans of his country to burn photos and shirts of Lionel Messi if he attended that match. The AFA president understood the threat to the Tango team and made the above decision.
