Maccabi Haifa's appointment of Curaçao midfielder Kenji Gorré as captain for the 2026/27 season sparked debate following his World Cup absence and slow start, but team leadership remains confident ahead of their match against Ironi Tiberias.

Ori Uzan, Gili Vermouth, and Moshe Primo attacked the Greens' performance in the Toto Cup on 103FM: "The team looks untrained." The new signings also didn't get off lightly.

After Hapoel Haifa took a 3:0 lead in the derby during the Toto Cup, chants were heard in the northern stand against the club's owner and sporting director. The "Greens" players also faced harsh criticism.
