Alona Barkat

Hapoel Beersheba owner Alona Barkat faces a major financial test as her squad takes on AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League, highlighting massive budget disparities.

A public clash erupted between Hapoel Beersheba owner Alona Barkat and IFA vice-chairman Moran Meiri over corporate governance and alleged conflicts of interest.

Instead of empty stands in Romania, Hapoel Be'er Sheva is opening its gates to the local public: the club will allow Romanian fans to purchase tickets for matches in Europe, which is expected to fill the stadium and bring millions into the club's coffers.

Hapoel Be'er Sheva has moved its European matches to Bucharest and is aiming for a historic first qualification for the Champions League. Ahead of the playoff match against Sabah, Romanian media highlighted Ofri Arad, the Israeli player for Steaua Bucharest, who attended the game at the Rapid stadium. A GSP photographer captured Arad hugging Alona Barkat in the VIP box.

The Brazilian midfielder will receive another salary upgrade, which will place him at the top of the club's earners list, and he is set to stay for at least the upcoming season. The player, who was initially frustrated and wanted to leave, is satisfied with the start of the season and will receive additional bonuses based on achievements in Europe.

A significant deal is emerging for Hapoel Be'er Sheva: following a series of signings from abroad and the local league, the club is working on another impressive defensive reinforcement on a free transfer.

The club believes that qualifying for at least the Europa League and the resulting financial influx will boost efforts to sign a center-back and an attacking midfielder, allowing them to re-engage with players who previously declined offers or were deemed too expensive.

Coach Ran Kozuch is searching for two foreign signings, with owner Alona Barkat demanding proven talent to significantly upgrade the squad. The club is accelerating contract talks with Eliel Peretz, while Lucas Ventura has confirmed his commitment to the team, citing the allure of the Champions League.

After the tough victory over the Serbian champion, Hapoel Be'er Sheva is preparing for the return leg and Alona Barkat is incentivizing the Israeli champion's players.

The young midfielder, Mohammad Abu Rumi, who arrived in January from Ironi Kiryat Shmona and helped the Reds win the sixth championship in the club's history, is attracting great interest from overseas.

The journalist and Hapoel Be'er Sheva fan spoke about the experience at the away game in Europe, shared a conversation with Alona Barkat, about the vow she will find hard to keep, and also addressed the farewell to Kings Kangwa.

Hapoel Be'er Sheva has secured a European group stage spot. Combined with the sale of the team's star to Panathinaikos, the club has generated significant revenue, putting it in an excellent position for the upcoming season.

Hapoel Be'er Sheva's defender is leaving the club after five successful seasons. The team honored his legacy, highlighting his contributions on the pitch and his strong connection to the fans.
