Soccer teams face-off in first professional match in Israel since March

Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Haifa are facing off in the first professional soccer game in Israel since early March, when games were halted due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The match at Tel Aviv’s Bloomfield Stadium is being played in front of an empty crowd, with parts of the stadium being heavily disinfected beforehand.

Two more games are set to be played later this evening.
