The stadium arch Wembley will no longer be lit due to political reasons, after the criticism received by the English federation (FA) for not using the colors of the flag of Israel after the attacks carried out by the terrorist group Hamas in the country. This was said by a source from the FA itself to the Reuters agency.
The FAunlike when he illuminated the arc of colors of Ukraine after the start of the war in Ukrainedecided not to put the colors of Israel in the arch. Israel have already responded to the bombings with a military attack that, according to figures from Palestine It claimed the lives of more than 14,000 people.
At other times the arch is illuminated, with the colors of the flag LGBTI during the Qatar World Cupwith the flag of France in attacks in 2015 and with Turkey in the 2016 attacks.
Therefore, from now on the arch will only be lit for sporting and entertainment reasons, as well as for contractual purposes, and on special occasions, as happened last year with the death of Queen Isabel II.
