A dispute over hosting arrangements has threatened to derail Union Saint-Gilloise’s upcoming Europa League match against Hapoel Beer-Sheva, with the club’s Belgian home city mayor insisting the game must be played at an alternative venue rather than the team’s usual stadium. The mayor’s stance has raised questions about the feasibility of the fixture, as the club’s ground is typically the designated host for European competitions. With no immediate resolution in sight, the match’s future remains uncertain, potentially impacting both teams’ schedules. Football authorities will now need to intervene to determine whether the game can proceed as planned or if a last-minute venue change is necessary.
