Lebanon indefinitely postpones all football matches amid Israel’s attacks

Football matches in all tournaments have been postponed due to Israeli attacks, the Lebanese Football Association said.

The Lebanese Football Association (LFA) has postponed all football matches in its affiliated domestic tournaments indefinitely in the wake of Israel’s attacks in southern Lebanon and rising fears of an all-out war.

At least 558 people, including 50 children, have been killed and 1,835 wounded in Israel’s fierce bombardment of various parts of Lebanon which began on Friday, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.

Tens of thousands of people were forced from their homes “and the numbers continue to grow”, according to the UN refugee agency (UNHCR).

“Due to the current situation in the country, the executive committee of the Lebanese Football Association has decided to postpone matches of all tournaments to a date to be determined later,” the LFA said in a statement on Tuesday.
