Maccabi Haifa Reports 52.6 Million Shekel Net Loss for 2025/26 Season

Maccabi Haifa concluded the 2025/26 football season with a net loss of approximately 52.6 million shekels, more than double the deficit recorded in the previous year, according to internal financial data reviewed by the club. This represents a surge of roughly 111% compared to the 2024/25 season, which ended with a loss of about 24.85 million shekels.

The primary driver behind the deepened deficit was a sharp decline in revenues from player sales and loans, while ticketing and matchday revenues remained relatively stable. Income from player transfers totaled just 14.75 million shekels, compared to 46.57 million shekels the prior season—a drop of over 31.8 million shekels, or roughly 68%.

Total other revenues for Maccabi Haifa dropped from 82.17 million shekels to 48.65 million shekels. Income from European competitions also contracted significantly, falling from 3.6 million shekels to about 1.14 million shekels, while broadcasting rights slipped from 5.27 million shekels to 4 million shekels.

Despite the revenue contraction, the club successfully trimmed one of its major outlays as player and coaching salaries decreased by 14.8% from 78.43 million shekels to 66.82 million shekels. However, match operations and depreciation costs climbed, keeping overall sporting and training costs at roughly 121 million shekels.

Club management emphasized that despite the heavy financial blow, Maccabi Haifa remains committed to its sporting ambitions. "The club's sporting policy combines building a competitive squad aiming to compete for all titles in Israel and reach a European group stage every season," the internal document stated.
