[Interviewer] Today, we have the privilege of interviewing two esteemed guests: Mr. Avraham Danino, the President of the Israeli Football Association, and Ms. Sofie Theresa Krogh, a renowned journalist who has extensively covered the sport of football in the Middle East. We will discuss their thoughts and perspectives on the current state of football in Israel amidst the ongoing conflict in the region.
