以色列足球运动员周日在欧国联对阵爱尔兰的比赛中佩戴黑臂章，以纪念2023年10月7日恐怖袭击的受害者。臂章上印有“7.10”，标志着哈马斯发动恐袭的日期，该袭击造成1000多名以色列人死亡。以色列足球协会赛前宣布，欧足联已批准佩戴黑臂章。
Israel soccer players wore a black armband in remembrance of the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack victims on Sunday as they took on Ireland in a Nations League match. The armbands read, "7.10," signifying the date of Hamas’ terror attack, which left more than 1,000 Israelis dead. The Israel Football Association announced before the match that UEFA approved the armbands. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!
“欧足联已批准以色列足球协会的请求，允许国家队在今晚对阵爱尔兰足球队的比赛中佩戴黑臂章，以纪念10月7日大屠杀中遇难者”，该组织写道，“愿他们的记忆成为祝福。”以色列与爱尔兰的第二场比赛是在两国关系紧张升级的背景下进行的。爱尔兰足球队面临压力，要求抵制与以色列的比赛，以抗议以色列对哈马斯恐袭的回应。爱尔兰坚定支持巴勒斯坦，其足球协会甚至提出动议，要求禁止以色列参加俱乐部和国际赛事。
"@UEFA has approved the Israel Football Association’s request for the national team to wear black armbands in tonight’s match against @IrelandFootball in memory of those murdered in the October 7 massacre," the organization wrote on "May their memory be a blessing." The second match between Israel and Ireland occurred amid heightened tension between the two nations. Ireland’s soccer team has faced pressure to boycott matches against Israel over the country’s response to Hamas’ terror attack. Ireland has been in staunch support of Palestinians with the soccer association going as far as putting forth a motion to bar Israel from club and international competitions.
尽管如此，爱尔兰足球队因担心欧足联制裁而拒绝抵制比赛。9月两队在欧国联交手时，爱尔兰球员拒绝与以色列对手握手，并佩戴黑臂章抗议。
Still, Ireland soccer has resisted match boycotts over fear of sanctions from UEFA. Ireland and Israel faced each other in the Nations League in September and Irish players refused to shake hands with their Israeli opponents and wore black armbands in protest.
周日，爱尔兰球员再次重演此举：拒绝与以色列队握手，并佩戴黑臂章抗议。

第二场比赛前，以色列记者与爱尔兰足球队传讯经理基兰·克劳利发生冲突。克劳利试将赛前新闻发布会限制在足球问题上，但对关于爱尔兰球员种族主义指控的提问表示强烈异议。“这完全是不实之词，”克劳利大声反驳。新闻发布会随即结束。
Before the second match took place, Israeli journalists clashed with Ireland soccer’s communications manager Kieran Crowley. Crowley tried to limit a pre-match press conference with the media to soccer questions. But he took exception to a question about racism allegations against Irish soccer players. "That’s completely untrue," Crowley shouted back. The press conference ended shortly afterward.
