Lebanon, Palestine Draw in World Cup Qualifier Amid Israel-Gaza Conflict

Moved to UAE due to conflict, the match saw a determined Palestinian team, disrupted in their preparations, draw 0-0 with Lebanon.

Lebanon and Palestine drew 0-0 in a World Cup qualifier that was moved to the United Arab Emirates due to the Israel-Gaza conflict.
The match was originally scheduled to be played in Beirut, but was relocated following an attack by Hamas on October 7.
The Palestinian team, which started official training only four days prior to the match, wore traditional keffiyeh and observed a minute's silence for those killed in the conflict before kickoff.
The conflict has disrupted the Palestinian team's preparations, with all sporting activities in Palestine halted and the team forced to move to Jordan.
Despite the challenges, the Palestinian players are determined to continue playing, with their next match against Australia scheduled for November 21 in Kuwait.
