Israel’s tackle football team to compete in Europe
Israel’s national tackle football team will next month head to Italy to compete in the qualifying tournament for the 2018 European Championship.
The Israeli team will play two games against Italy on September 2, while Serbia faces Switzerland at the same time. The tournament winner will then face either Denmark or Sweden next year, and the victor of that game will qualify for the six-team European Championship. Germany, Austria, France and Finland have already qualified.
The Israeli delegation consists of 45 players, as well as 18 coaches, trainers and officials.
