Whistle the referee and start the game!

Ladies and gentlemen, everything is ready at Netanya Stadium for the start of this match. They will play with soul, life and heart to gracefully close this eliminatory stage.

Israel will look to close out its 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign with a strong result when tonight they host the Faroe Islands for their final Group F competition.

The team is third in the group, seven points behind second-place Scotland, while the Faroe Islands are fifth, three points above sixth-place Moldova, with one game to play.

Both teams are already on the pitch, doing warm-up work before kick-off.

Hopefully we have a good soccer game.

Today we have eight simultaneous qualifying matches for the Qatar 2022 World Cup and three Tickets in play:

Gunnar Nielsen; René Joensen, Odmar Faero, Hordur Askham, Sonni Nattestad, Viljormur Davidsen; Hallur Hansson, Brandur Hendrikson, Jakup Andreasen, Solvi Vatnhamar; Joan Edmundsson.

Ofir Marciano, Eli Dasa, Orel Dagani, Hatem El Hamed, Nir Bitton, Suf Podgoreanu, Aviv Avraham, Dor Peretz, Manor Solomon, Shon Weissman, Monas Dabbur.

For the Faroe Islands, Klaemint Olsen came off the bench to score late against Denmark on Friday, and the 31-year-old could have earned a starting role for tonight.

It seems likely that coach Ericsson will move his line-up from the clash against Denmark, with Trondur Jensen and Heri Mohr also pushing for the opening one.

There is a lot of experience in the Faroe Islands midfield, and Hallur Hansson is expected to be the team captain again from the right side of midfield.

The Israel National Team will seek to finish this World Cup tie in the best way, and therefore it would be a surprise to see many changes for this match, apparently coach Ruttensteiner would come out with the majority of the team that faced Austria.

Zahavi faces slight pressure from Shon Weissman when it comes to the starting position of the center-forward, but the former scored three times against the Faroe Islands in the opener and should continue in the starting eleven.

Munas Dabbur and Manor Solomon are also expected to appear in the last third of the field, while Celtic's Nir Bitton could line up again on defense.

We started the coverage of this match of the qualifiers heading to Qatar 2022.

The Faroe Islands have never qualified for a World Cup and are always going to have a hard time competing seriously in this section due to the quality of the teams that surround them in UEFA.

The National Team has accumulated four points in its nine games to rank fifth in the group, tying with Moldova on the road before beating the same opponents in the home game.

Hakan Ericson's team have lost all three of their matches to Austria, Scotland and Denmark since the 2-1 win over Moldova on 7 September, but there have been signs of encouragement to face this match and close the World Cup qualifier with dignity.

Israel has only qualified for one World Cup, it was in the 1970 edition, and it will have to wait until at least until 2026 to return to the leading competition in international football. They managed a 2-1 victory over Moldova in their last qualifying match at home in October, but come in this match after a 4-2 loss to Austria on Friday, with both teams now with 13 points in the group.

They come into this match with a record of four wins, one draw and four losses in nine games, to add 13 points and occupy third place in the group seven points behind Scotland. Willibald Ruttensteiner's team have scored 20 goals in the World Cup tie, the second most behind Denmark's 30.

Israel have won each of their last three games against the Faroe Islands, including a 4-0 win in the game they played in September, with Eran Zahavi scoring a hat-trick.

The Netanya Stadium is a sports venue located in the city of Netanya, Israel. It was inaugurated on November 4, 2012 and is owned by the Municipality of Netanya, its current capacity is 13,610 people and it can be expanded to 24,000 people in the future.

It is a Category 4 stadium according to the regulations applied by UEFA to classify football stadiums. It is home to soccer clubs Maccabi Netanya and Hapoel Hadera FC, temporarily, both of the Israel Premier League.
