The Hebrew State will face the winner of the England-Portugal match in the semi-finals
Israel qualified for the semi-final of the European Under-21s Championship by beating Georgia on penalties on Saturday night. He will face the winner of the England-Portugal match in the semi-final.
“What pride! The young Israeli football team has qualified for the Olympics. Congratulations on the incredible achievement! Thanks to your determination and your will, you have achieved an incredible victory. Good luck for the semi-finals of the Euro, we are behind you,” President Isaac Herzog tweeted.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also congratulated the team on their victory. However, contrary to what Isaac Herzog said in his message, Israel is not yet qualified for the Olympics. He still needs a victory in the quarter-finals of England or France on Sunday to get his sesame for the 2024 Olympics, which would be the first in the country since the Montreal Games in 1976.
After Israel’s recent third place at the Under-20 World Cup, this performance by the blue-white under-21 team confirms all the talent of the young generation of Israeli footballers.
