Protesters disrupted Ireland's football match against Austria by throwing tennis balls painted with Palestine flags onto the pitch, Al Jazeera English reported. The demonstration halted play as security removed the projectiles and flags from the field.
The incident occurred during the international fixture, which was briefly suspended to clear the pitch. Organizers did not immediately confirm details about the protesters' identities or affiliations.
