Pro-Palestinian Rally Ahead of Italy-Israel World Cup Qualifier
Thousands of people are set to march through Udine, Italy, in a pro-Palestinian demonstration ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifier between Italy and Israel.
The rally is expected to draw around 10,000 protestors, who are angry about the hosting of the match, despite a ceasefire deal and hostage exchange between Israel and Hamas.
The demonstration will take place amidst a massive security operation in the small city of Udine, located in Italy's far north-east.
No statement from the organizers is available at this time.
