Universitario de Deportes Club decided not to release forward Alexander Succar to the Lebanese National Team for the friendly match against the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, October 17.
The Lebanese Football Association announced this through their website. As a reminder, the Lebanese sent a letter to the team from Ate last Monday requesting the release of the player for the match.
"The Lebanese Football Association sent a letter to Universitario last Monday requesting the inclusion of Alexander Succar in the national team to play a friendly match against the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday at the Al Maktoum Stadium. However, they rejected the request," they stated in a press release.
Why didn't they release him?
In the press release, it is also detailed that the club did not agree to release Succar "due to the armed conflict and because their priority is to protect the player." It should be noted that Hezbollah, a terrorist faction located in the south of Lebanon, is supporting Hamas with the aim of eradicating the Jewish state.
