Did you know Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv played under the name Palestine in 1939? MEMO reveals the dark history of how Israeli football teams came to play in Europe, and how world events saw Israel change from a Middle Eastern country to a European one over the course of the 20th century. Maccabi Tel Aviv started their 2024 Europa League campaign with a loss to SC Braga. Fans of the Portuguese club raised a Palestinian flag during a game against Israel in July, making them one of a growing number of European fan groups that reject Israeli participation in European football and are standing in solidarity with Palestine.
