Israeli Premier League

After a long saga, Yarin Levi has signed a new three-year contract with Maccabi Haifa, keeping him at the club until 2029. The player expressed pride in returning home despite recent friction with the fans.

From the team that will only benefit from being eliminated in Europe and might go all the way this time, through the empire that fell asleep in the summer and might wake up to a nightmare, and to the champion of scandals praying for a miracle the likes of which Israeli football has never known.

At the board of directors meeting, it was clarified that one of the main goals for the upcoming season is to significantly increase net playing time. The Administration is also considering placing balls along the sidelines to reduce delays.

The victory in the Toto Cup against Hapoel Ramat Gan was received in the capital with mixed feelings, as the club is interested in strengthening the midfield. Allison Tavares will be released for free to one of the Premier League teams.

Yoav Koren will complete his move to Maccabi Petah Tikva, which hoped to sign him earlier this summer. Mor Siman Tov, who also hoped to stay, will likely be sent to Ironi Kiryat Shmona.

After a surprising rise to the upper playoffs, Hapoel Petah Tikva opens the season with high expectations and an upgraded budget - but the element of surprise is lost and the preparation was lackluster.

Before departing for Bergamo to face Atalanta in the Conference League playoffs, Hapoel Tel Aviv secured a dramatic 1:2 victory over Ironi Kiryat Shmona. Adrian Ugrisa opened the scoring in the 6th minute, but following Ofir Benvenisti's 30th-minute red card, the hosts held firm until Daniel Dappa scored a brace in stoppage time (97th and 99th minutes).

Players who want to leave and are already sitting on their suitcases, reinforcements that don't arrive, a disgruntled locker room, and management that recycles clichés instead of bringing solutions. Maccabi Tel Aviv is starting another season in a heavy fog, while rivals are already opening a significant managerial and professional lead over them.

Following negotiations between the parties, an agreement has been reached: the Maccabi Netanya goalkeeper will join the Greens on a loan deal for the upcoming season. The club will have a purchase option of 1.4 million shekels at the end of the season.

Alongside his comments regarding Douglas Awuo, football agent Stav Hachmon addressed another of his clients yesterday — Hapoel Be'er Sheva star Lucas Ventura, and the possibility of him leaving following the arrival of Kings Kangwa. "As far as I understand at the moment, he is staying," Hachmon said in an interview with the 103fm sports show.

For Beitar to succeed in moving up in the table, Almog Cohen will need to prevent ego wars and find another defensive midfielder. Barak Abramov must keep Luka Gadrani at almost any cost. Without these conditions, Beitar will return to being a team whose glass ceiling is just a ticket to Europe.

Following the stormy hearing at the tribunal, the club updated its fans: "We will defend the club, the truth, and our right to a fair process. Our defense team blocked the attempt to force an expedited procedure."
