(BBC) The Royal Belgian Football Association “deplores” the city of Brussels’ decision not to stage Belgium’s Nations League game with Israel on 6 September.
The RBFA says it had “accepted” the game “would in all likelihood be played without an audience” at the King Baudouin Stadium in the Belgian capital.
But earlier on Wednesday, the municipal government of Brussels said it “considers it impossible” to stage the game there at all over security fears.
The Israel-Gaza conflict has sparked global demonstrations, including in Belgium.
The RBFA says it is “looking for a solution to enable us to play the match at home.”
