The crowd displayed Palestinian flags and keffiyeh scarves, emphasizing a symbolic message rather than focusing on the match outcome. In a notable gesture, the Australian team announced a portion of their match fees would be donated to humanitarian causes in Gaza, addressing the complexity of the geopolitical situation in the region.
