Hundreds more watched from windows or roofs of buildings overlooking the stadium, and only a few meters from the Israeli barrier that cuts across the West Bank from Jerusalem.

Arab clubs and national teams have so far refused to play in Palestinian territories occupied by Israel since 1967 because they require entry permits from Israel.

Palestinian Football Association described the arrival of the Saudi Arabian team in Palestinian territories as a “victory” situation.

Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt still refuse to play in occupied Palestinian territory.

However, other countries such as Bahrain, Morocco, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman have sent clubs and their teams to play in the West Bank. (T/Sj/P2)
