But since this change is mostly for football matches I can see this being a popular choice.

It’s also called Jerusalem, which is in Israel. I can’t imagine the HaTikvah reading;

[quote]As long as the Jewish spirit is yearning deep in the heart,
With eyes turned toward the West, looking toward London…[/quote]
If figurative, it’s a call to higher religiosity, to which the answer again is “no”.
