以色列支持者被指控在欧洲国家联赛对阵爱尔兰共和国队的比赛中,向爱尔兰球员亚当·伊达(Adam Idah)高喊种族主义口号,并被拍到在看台上高呼军事口号,但他们并未受到赛事主办方的纪律处分。
Israeli supporters have been accused of directing racist chants towards Republic of Ireland player Adam Idah and were filmed raising military slogans during the teams’ UEFA Nations League football match, but have evaded disciplinary action from the competition’s organisers.
在周日于匈牙利德布勒森纳格耶尔代体育场(Nagyerdei Stadium)举行的这场政治色彩浓厚的比赛中,爱尔兰队以3-0击败了以色列队,伊达是进球者之一。
Ireland defeated Israel 3-0 in the politically charged encounter at Nagyerdei Stadium in Debrecen, Hungary, with Idah among the goal scorers in the controversial European clash on Sunday.
社交媒体上流传的视频显示,这位25岁的爱尔兰国脚(父亲为尼日利亚人,母亲为爱尔兰人)遭到了“猴子叫声”的种族歧视,但欧足联(UEFA)并未对这些球迷的行为进行处罚。
The 25-year-old Ireland international, born to a Nigerian father and an Irish mother, was targeted with “monkey chants”, as videos circulating on social media showed, but the fans’ behaviour has gone unpunished by UEFA.
一名以色列支持者还在看台上带头高呼有关其国家军队的口号,试图以此掩盖球队在球场上的惨败。
An Israeli supporter also led chants about his country’s military from the stands as he attempted to brush aside the team’s drubbing on the football pitch.
半岛电视台已就此事联系了欧洲足球管理机构欧足联以及爱尔兰足球协会(FAI),询问他们对此事的看法,以及以色列球迷是否会因其行为面临任何制裁。
Al Jazeera has reached out to European football’s governing body, UEFA, and the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) for comment on the incident and whether the Israeli fans will face any sanctions for their actions.
据爱尔兰媒体报道,欧足联证实以色列球迷确实对伊达进行了种族主义辱骂,但由于爱尔兰球员和官员未遵循相关程序,该事件无法进行调查。
According to reports in the Irish media, UEFA confirmed that racist abuse by Israeli fans towards Idah occurred, but that the matter cannot be investigated because the protocols were not followed by Irish players and officials.
据《爱尔兰时报》援引爱尔兰足协发言人的话称,爱尔兰中场球员杰森·莫伦比(Jayson Molumby)在半场结束前听到了种族主义口号,并要求裁判和第四官员留意这些所谓的“猴子叫声”。
Ireland midfielder Jayson Molumby, who heard the racist chants before half-time, asked the referee and the fourth official to listen to the alleged monkey chants, an FAI spokesperson was quoted as saying by The Irish Times.
然而,一名欧足联代表告知爱尔兰足协,由于莫伦比没有明确向官员提及“种族主义”一词,且官员们当时并未听到任何口号,因此无法启动调查。
However, a UEFA delegate informed the FAI that an investigation could not be opened as Molumby did not explicitly mention racism to the officials and they had not heard any chanting.
此前,针对这场比赛的抵制呼声已引起国际关注,随后便传出了以色列球迷涉嫌种族歧视的指控。
The allegations of racism from Israeli fans came after calls to boycott the match drew international attention.
军事口号 以色列右翼政党成员尤瑟夫·哈达德(Youseph Haddad)在看台上拍摄了自己与其他支持者的视频,在球队赛场表现极其糟糕的情况下,他们高呼有关以色列军队的口号。
Military sloganeering Youseph Haddad, a member of an Israeli right-wing party, filmed himself in the stands with other supporters as they chanted about the Israeli military amid the team’s abysmal performance on the field.
“是的,我们在足球比赛中输了,但在其他方面我们不会输,”哈达德在视频中自问自答道,他指的是以色列军队。
“Yes, we lose in football, but where we don’t lose,” Haddad says in the video, answering himself: Israeli forces.
“所以,也许爱尔兰足球队在足球场上击败了我们,但他们永远、永远无法摧毁以色列的精神,”作为即将到来的以色列议会选举候选人,哈达德补充道。
“So maybe the football Irish team beat us on the football field, but they will never, ever break the Israeli spirit,” adds Haddad, who is a candidate for the upcoming Israeli parliamentary elections.
目前尚不清楚高呼有关以色列军队的口号是否会被归类为欧足联(UEFA)观众行为准则下的“负面行为”。
It remains unclear whether chanting about the Israeli military would be categorised as “negative behaviour” under UEFA’s rules on spectator behaviour.

Israel fans in the stands after their team’s 3-0 loss to Ireland [Bernadett Szabo/Reuters] According to UEFA’s disciplinary regulations, penalties for national associations whose fans are found guilty of breaking the rules can range from fines to stadium closures and bans on away ticket sales. However, such sanctions are announced following a disciplinary investigation into the matter.
半岛电视台已询问欧足联,以色列足球协会是否会因其球迷的口号而面临纪律调查。
Al Jazeera has asked UEFA whether the Israel Football Association will face a disciplinary inquiry due to its fans’ sloganeering.
这场比赛本身几个月来一直备受争议。周六,即比赛前一天,比赛能否如期举行尚不确定。由于以色列在加沙地带的种族灭绝行为,以及爱尔兰作为巴勒斯坦盟友的地位,爱尔兰足球协会(FAI)和国家队几个月来一直面临抵制比赛的压力。
The match itself had been a point of contention for months and on Saturday, the day before the match, it was uncertain whether the game would go ahead, with the FAI and the national team under pressure for months to boycott the fixtures due to Israel’s genocide in Gaza and Ireland’s status as a Palestine ally.
但在经过数小时的讨论和球队内部投票后,比赛最终如期举行。爱尔兰球员佩戴黑色臂章,以支持在以色列对加沙的种族灭绝战争中丧生的巴勒斯坦人。
But after hours of talks and a vote among the team, the match went ahead, with Ireland players wearing black armbands in support of Palestinians killed during Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.
爱尔兰球员在以色列国歌响起时低下了头,并拒绝与以色列队握手。此外,爱尔兰队长达拉·奥谢(Dara O'Shea)承诺将他从这场比赛中获得的所有收入捐赠给加沙以提供援助。
Irish players also bowed their heads during Israel’s national anthem and did not shake the hands of the Israeli team, while Ireland’s captain, Dara O’Shea, pledged to donate all of his earnings from the match to aid Gaza.
爱尔兰队的主力门将加文·巴祖努是唯一一位公开表示不愿参加这场比赛的球员。他在社交媒体上发文称:“参加即将对阵以色列的比赛是不对的。”因此,巴祖努退出了这两场比赛的参赛名单,包括原定于10月4日在塞尔维亚巴卡托波拉举行的下一场比赛。
Ireland’s first-choice goalkeeper, Gavin Bazunu was the only player who publicly opted out of the fixture and posted a statement on social media, saying he felt “it would be wrong to participate in the upcoming fixtures against Israel”. Bazunu withdrew from both legs of the fixture, including the next match set to take place on October 4 in Backa Topola, Serbia.
爱尔兰队和以色列队目前同属欧洲足联国家联赛(UEFA Nations League)的B3组。
Ireland and Israel are in Group B3 of the ongoing UEFA Nations League.
为纪念在加沙地带丧生的平民,爱尔兰队的球员们佩戴了黑色臂章。[
