Ireland have a 25% chance of drawing Israel in Thursday’s Uefa Nations League and the FAI have reiterated their plans to fulfil the two fixtures.

Although the FAI delegates passed a motion in November requesting Uefa to ban Israeli international and club teams from all European competitions on foot of violations, fears of repercussions from boycotting games have framed internal policy.
