Already in July, during the Paris Olympic Games, a thousand police and gendarmes were mobilized for the men’s football match between Mali and Israel at the Parc des Princes, due to calls for «mobilisation» against the presence of the Israeli delegation in France because of the war in Gaza. No notable incidents had been reported.
On the other hand, in September, Belgium’s home match against Israel for the first day of the League of Nations was relocated to Debrecen, Hungary, and was played behind closed doors, after the refusal of several Belgian cities to welcome the meeting, fearing excesses. On October 10, during the 3rd day of the League of Nations, the match between France and Israel, won 4-1 by the Blues, was also relocated to Hungary.
