FIFA President Gianni Infantino on Thursday issued an appeal for protesters to keep calm ahead of Israel’s upcoming soccer World Cup qualifying matches in Norway and Italy.

The plea came after an agreement was reached between Israel and the terror group to secure the return of hostages, in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners and a ceasefire.

Protesters approached the gates of the Italy squad’s training center in Florence last week to demand that next Tuesday’s Italy-Israel match in Udine isn’t played — part of a national strike that saw millions of activists take to the streets.

Infantino, who is Swiss-Italian, was asked on the sidelines of a European Football Clubs (EFC) assembly in the Italian capital on Thursday what his message would be ahead of Israel’s games and projected protests.

“Now everyone should be happy about [the peace plan] and everyone should support the process,” Infantino told reporters. “Of course, this goes beyond football — but includes football as well.”

Israel visits Norway on Saturday before traveling to Italy, where an estimated 10,000 people were planning to protest the match in Udine before the peace talks began.

UEFA had been considering suspending Israel over the war and Udine Mayor Alberto Felice De Toni had called for the game to be postponed.

But with Italy desperately attempting to avoid failing to qualify for a third consecutive World Cup, the four-time champion doesn’t plan to risk not playing.

As of Monday, only 4,000 tickets were sold for the match at the 25,000-seat Stadio Friuli.

Italy midfielder Bryan Cristante, who grew up less than an hour’s drive from Udine, also welcomed the peace efforts.

“We’re all pleased. That’s what we wanted,” Cristante said. “Let’s hope the stadium in Udine is full. Because we need our fans. They can give us an extra push.”
