Dia Saba not called up to national team; Abbas Suan and others react to absence of Arab representation

In depth

Dia Saba was not called up to the Israel national team squad. Acting ITFA chairman Bassam Suleiman said that Ran Ben Shimon does not accept the situation in which Saba makes his arrival to the national team conditional on a place in the starting lineup, and that this is a professional matter.

Abbas Suan said there were talks with a close friend of Saba, and that Saba loves the national team, but that joining it would create a mess and harm his workplace. According to him, Abu Fani was not called up either, and the absence of Arab representation in the squad raises questions.

Armeli said in an interview that the Arab players want to be in the squad and were not invited, and that in his view Abu Fani should be in the national team.
