Israeli organizers say Qatar, Turkey caused Argentina match cancellation

Israeli organizers of the Argentina-Israel friendly soccer match on Saturday night that was canceled by the Argentinean team on Tuesday say Qatar and Turkey were involved in convincing Argentina’s national team to pull out.

According to Amichai Stein, a reporter for Israel’s public broadcaster Kan, negotiations are now underway to replace the canceled game with two friendly matches, and “one of them might be in Jerusalem.”

Israeli newspapers have previously reported that Qatar paid Argentina’s cancellation fee.
