The Israel Football Association is offering free tickets southern residents for Thursday's friendly match against Guatemala at the new stadium in Netanya in preparation for the important UEFA Nations League game against Scotland.

Even before the recent escalation of security in the south, the association invited the children of the Gaza vicinity and is now extending the invitation to all the players and activists of the youth and children's departments in the Gaza vicinity and southern Israel. The association said that additional tickets would be distributed free of charge through the local authorities to children and residents of the area.
