Awesome snapshot! The fans of the Italian national team turned their backs during the national anthem of Israel! The “Squandrza Azzura” were hosted at Budapest’s Bozsik Aréna by the usual hosts, Israel, and around 400 fans turned out to support Spalletti’s side.
During the playing of the Israeli national anthem, the “fans” turned their backs, thus expressing their protest about what is happening in the Middle East. Internal instability in the state of Israel necessitated the transfer of their national team to Hungary. After all, even UEFA does not want Israel to play home games in Haifa and Tel Aviv, for security reasons.
