Algerian champion withdraws from Olympics to avoid playing with Israeli player

23 Jul 2021

Algerian champion Fatehi Noreen announced Thursday his withdrawal from the Tokyo Olympics after being drawn with an Israeli player

"My position is firm, irreversible on the Palestinian issue, we do not slander our hands and we do not normalize the Israeli flag," said Noreen.

At the 2019 world championships, also in Tokyo, Nourine withdrew for the same reason.
