Shino Zuaretz

A day after the violent incident at HaMoshava Stadium in Petah Tikva, where a Hapoel Petah Tikva fan was attacked by a security guard on the pitch and hospitalized, Israel Football Association chairman Shino Zuaretz responded sharply. The incident has sparked anger within the football community and calls for a comprehensive reform of security protocols.

Success in Europe is bittersweet when realizing there is little chance of seeing matches in Israel soon. At least participation remains a diplomatic achievement.
