ZURICH: Four matches involving Israel men’s and women’s national teams have been rescheduled for November.

UEFA postponed all matches scheduled in the country earlier this month because of the Israel-Hamas conflict.

World federation FIFA has said the rescheduled games will be played as close as possible to the existing November international windows.

The Kosovo v Israel and Israel v Switzerland Euro 2024 Group I qualifiers will now take place on Nov. 12 and Nov. 15 respectively.

Israel’s away game against Kazakhstan in the Women’s Nations League has been rescheduled to Nov. 23 and the reverse fixture will be played on Nov. 26.

At the request of European governing body UEFA, FIFA has also approved an exception regarding the mandatory release of players for the rescheduled matches.

FIFA said: “Mandatory release would apply for a maximum of one player per any club not affiliated to either of the participating member associations of a given match.”
