Hasson informed a meeting of the IFA board that he had spoken with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin and other senior UEFA officials last week about the possibility of Israel hosting the matches.
According to an IFA press release, Čeferin thanked the IFA for its willingness to help and expressed admiration for Israel's handling of the COVID pandemic, as well as its vaccination campaign, and said he would consider the option of having Israel host the matches.
