Bohemians FC's Chief Operating Officer, Daniel Lambert, has expressed strong criticism regarding the Football Association of Ireland's (FAI) decision to relocate Ireland's UEFA Nations League match against Israel to a neutral venue. This decision, announced on June 12, 2026, has sparked controversy, particularly among those involved in the Stop the Game campaign, which Lambert is a part of. He described the FAI's choice as 'total hypocrisy', emphasizing the inconsistency in adhering to competition rules while ignoring significant political issues. Lambert's comments come in light of the FAI's statement that the match will be played behind closed doors, following UEFA's approval. The Stop the Game campaign is advocating for a boycott of upcoming matches against Israel, scheduled for September and October 2026, citing concerns over Israel's actions. Lambert argues that Ireland should take a stand against what he describes as apartheid practices by Israel, stating that the current approach is a ludicrous position to take. He believes that the FAI's decision will ultimately let down the players and undermine the integrity of the sport. As the debate continues, the implications of a potential boycott raise questions about Ireland's future in the Nations League and the FAI's standing in the international football community.
