• Organizers forecast up to 10,000 participants for the afternoon march from Piazza della Repubblica to Piazza Primo Maggio on a route passing near the Israeli team’s hotel.
• The Israeli delegation is lodged at the centrally located Hotel Friuli, whose surrounding streets are sealed with 24‑hour checkpoints allowing access only to residents.
• Ticketing was sharply curtailed to roughly 8,000 seats with whole sectors closed, and about fifty traveling Israeli fans are expected under a dedicated protection plan.
• Journalists noted rooftop snipers and police helicopters over Udine, while the Public Security Department publicly denied reports that Mossad agents were accompanying the team.
