Now my question is if the Bookies have the legal rights to feature matches from these countries where gambling is forbidden? Is there any legal reason the bookies will feature such matches and can those countries take legal actions against the bookies? Let me know what you think.
Restrictions are territorial and the extension of any restriction by one country into the territory of another country completely intrusive.

Well, in as much as those matches are broadcasted for public view beyond the shores of such country where gambling is banned then bookies has the right of choice to either feature them in their sportsbook or not to provided they are operating on a soil where gambling is legalize.

The ban restriction from the government of that very country is for their citizen alone and foreigners living within their jurisdiction. Where such country would have been said to have a legal right to sue any bookie's that features their country's matches in their sportbook for gambling is when they aren't making broadcast of their matches for public views outside their shores and they also send a caveat that they don't want their country football league games to be featured in any bookie. But unfortunately there's no globally regulatory body for gambling, it's residual on each country to make such call which can't get beyond it's territory.
