  1. ↑ Due to the Gaza war, Israel are required to play their home matches at neutral venues until further notice.[23]
  2. 1 2 The prospect of playing Israel is very controversial in the Republic of Ireland due to Israeli war crimes in the Gaza war and the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian conflict, many calling for the games to be boycotted. In 2025, the Football Association of Ireland voted in favour of suspending the Israel Football Association from club and international competitions, but said on 12 February 2026 that they would play against Israel.[24] Taoiseach (prime minister) Micheál Martin said the games should go ahead;[25] it has been suggested to move the Irish home game to a neutral venue.[26]
