TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) - Israel was barred from hosting international soccer matches until further notice because of the violence that has wracked the region.
In a letter sent to the Israel Football Association on Monday, UEFA — the European soccer governing body — said all games scheduled for Israel "shall be played outside of Israeli territory."
"The IFA and its clubs shall be responsible for providing alternative venues in their function as host FA or host club according to the regulations of the competition concerned," said the letter from UEFA secretary general Lars-Christer Olsson.
