Beitar Jerusalem football club to play Austria Wien in Vienna

The Israeli football club Beitar Jerusalem is scheduled to play against Austria Wien at the Generali Arena in Vienna on August 13, 2026, as part of the UEFA Conference League third qualifying round.

Concerns have been raised regarding the club's fan base, which is associated with the revisionist-Zionist Betar movement. Reports indicate that supporters frequently use racist chants and slogans, including calls for violence against Arabs and Muslims. The club's identity is linked to right-wing political movements in Israel, with prominent figures such as Benjamin Netanyahu and Itamar Ben Gvir noted among its fans.
