Bosnian players will not touch the Israeli team in the U-21 European Championship football competition.
At the start of the match played in Hungary, the Israeli players extended their hands to the Bosnian players, but the Bosnian players did not shake hands.
Bosnia and Israel face each other in Group G of the 2027 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.
There was no immediate official statement from UEFA or the officials of the two teams about the incident, but the move sparked debate on social media.
The behavior of the Bosnian players is seen as a silent protest against US and Israeli military operations in the region, including the recent escalation of tensions with Iran.
It is worth remembering that the match between Bosnia and Israel ended in a goalless draw.
