For the 3rd day of Group F of the Europa League, Villarreal and Maccabi Haifa were supposed to face each other at the Céramique stadium on Thursday, October 26. Except that given the current situation in Israel, UEFA announced to postpone the match to December 6.
“Maccabi Haifa Football Club thanks UEFA for its understanding and the President of the Football Federation, Shino Zoertz, who worked hard to have our request accepted,” indicated the current bottom of the group’s ranking on his official site.
This postponement indirectly involves Stade Rennais, which plays in the same group as the Israeli and Spanish club. The Bretons, who have already faced the two teams (3-0 victory against Maccabi Haifa and 0-1 defeat at Villarreal), travel to Greece next Thursday to challenge Panathinaikos.
Furthermore, UEFA also declared that “no matches in UEFA competitions will be played in Israel until further notice. » The Israeli Federation and its clubs are therefore invited to offer other venues for their planned home matches. Stade Rennais, which was to travel to Israel on November 30 to face Maccabi Haifa as part of the 5th day of the Europa League group stage, is concerned.
