Israel National Team - Unofficial International Games Against Representativs Teams

The games on this file were played against national or other representative sides, but were
not recognized as official by the Israeli FA.
Note that in part of the games Israel or its opponent stood under a custom name in order not to
give official figure to the game, but examining the line-up shows that both sides fielded their
national teams.
The list includes one game played by British Mandate of Palestine, the predecessor of Israel
national team.
