The Europa League match between Besiktas and Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv scheduled for 28th November in Istanbul will be played "in a neutral country", the Turkish club announced on Monday.

"Negotiations are continuing between our club and UEFA regarding the country where the match will be played," Besiktas said in a statement.

The meeting between the two clubs was considered high-risk, with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stepping up his verbal attacks on Israeli leaders since the start of the war in Gaza.

Anti-Israel demonstrations, encouraged by the Turkish government, have been taking place across the country for more than a year.

Last year, Israel advised its nationals and diplomats in Turkey to leave the country.
