I know it's a long way away yet, but with things hotting up out there has it crossed anyone else's minds what will happen if troubles are still ongoing? I was looking forward to going to Tel Aviv

I can see Isreal being disqualified from European competitions.

I read earlier that the Tel Aviv stadium isnt allowed to host European club matches until further notice

I cant see UEFA doing that. They've said f**k all about russia invading (for lack of a better word) ukraine even though they're due to hold the world cup in 4 years. I find it so hypocritical how FIFA like to keep out of political and social matters even though they're happy to take ridiculous amounts of cash of qatar (probably bribes) while ignoring the plight of migrant workers who are building the exact same f*cking stadiums they'll be sitting in.

Israeli clubs and the national team have hosted their games in Cyprus a number of times in the past.

But we are playing Cyprus also so I'm not so sure they would use the same stadium.

Some supporters have already booked their flights. This is the only away game i will miss. I spoke to my friend who lived out there for 6 yrs and he advised me not to go there. 2 of his friends were killed there. He said they always target groups of people there.

I remember booking my flights to the Serbia away game around 2003ish and it was cancelled because Arkan was shot dead yet the only refund I had was the flights taxes.

Azerbaijan isn't geographically in Europe, same could be said for Georgia and Armania (The Russian caucasus'), also the vast majority of Russia and Turkey are in Asia but they still play within UEFA

i wouldnt have thought there is going to be violence, where the majority of the welsh fans will be staying The Palestinians know not to even think about thinking targeting the Tourist areas. Besides, the Israelis have all sorts of radar and the like to know well in advance of a Strike on such places.t My mate came back from there before all the current troubles began and, he says if you stay well away from the West Bank area, everything is perfectly safe!
