During a Nations League match in Hungary, a group of around 50 Italy fans, dressed in black, turned their backs during Israel's national anthem in protest. The fans also held up an Italian flag with the word "Liberta" (Freedom) and displayed banners with black slashes. The game was relocated to Hungary due to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. The same group also chanted against Italian anti-fascist activist Ilaria Salis during the match. Italy is set to host Israel in Udine on October 14, amid growing tensions and scheduled protests.
