Israel will play their UEFA EURO 2004™ qualifier against Slovenia next month in the Turkish city of Antalya.
Two fixtures
UEFA today approved the Israel Football Association's request to stage the 7 June fixture at Antalya's Atatürk stadium, as well as the Under-21 match between the two countries 24 hours earlier.
Previous venue
Israel staged their previous two Group 1 home games in Palermo, Italy. They trail second-placed Slovenia by two points in the group so victory would give them real hope of securing at least second place and a play-off berth for next year's finals.
