The Republic of Ireland have delayed the pre-match news conference planned for Sunday's Uefa Nations League game against Israel in Hungary - a fixture campaigners have called on them to boycott.
Heimir Hallgrimsson's team are scheduled to meet Israel in Debrecen at 19:45 BST, with the return fixture in Backa Topola, Serbia on 4 October.
They have faced calls to withdraw from the games because of the ongoing Israel-Gaza war with a "Stop The Game" campaign - organised by the pressure group Irish Sport for Palestine - gathering pace.
But shortly afterwards, the Uefa official returned to the media room to announce that the Republic of Ireland's training session had also been postponed, with no time given for when it might take place. There is also no confirmed time for the news conference.
