Dutch team leaves Israeli player behind

Vitesse defender Dan Mori was left behind by his Dutch team when they left for training camp in Abu Dhabi, part of United Arab Emirates, Sunday morning. Mori was forced to stay in the Netherlands to train with the reserve squad.

About a month ago the team began searching for possible destinations for the winter break training camp – Spain, Portugal, Turkey. Dubai came up as a possibility and the team informed (the local authorities) that there is an Israeli player on the squad. The authorities authorized his stay, saying 'we'll take care of him, no problem.'

"Yesterday, hours before leaving, the team received a message that I would not be able to enter Dubai. The club still planned for me to fly there, hoping to use connections once we were there to make sure I was allowed to enter, but this morning they told us that I would be arrested upon entry."
