MIXED SOCCER

**Bnei Sakhnin will set a precedent in European soccer tonight (8:40 P.M., live on Channel 10) by becoming the first Arab side to compete in a UEFA competition, when they play Partizani Tirani of Albania at the National Stadium in Ramat Gan...

Interest in Sakhnin's exploits has spread beyond Israel's borders, as soccer fans throughout the Arab world are tuning in...

The team is made up of Arab and Jewish players and a foreign contingent from Africa and eastern Europe...

"We hope that both Arabs and Jews will unite for 90 minutes and will keep their fingers crossed for us." **
