Players seek labor court ruling against Sabbath soccer

The Tel Aviv Labor Court is set to hear an appeal by a soccer players’ union against holding National League games on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath.

The appeal comes from The New Organization of Football Players in Israel. If the court grants the request even on a temporary basis, it would delay this Saturday’s game between Ashdod FC and Hapoel Bnei Lod.
