Hey guys very long time didn't post here Smile

Two teams are left from Israel in the Europa League are Maccabi Haifa (Playoffs against FC Astra Giurgiu from Romania, won 2-0 first leg at home) and Maccabi Tel Aviv (Groups stage).
In the third round, Hapoel Tel Aviv lost 3-4 on agg to Pandurii from Romania, surprising Hapoel Ramat Gan (won the Israeli cup 12/13) from the second Israeli league lost only 0-1 on agg to Estoril from Portugal.

New stadiums in Israel starting this season, Maccabi Haifa will leave their old home stadium "Kiryat Eliezer" in 2 months, for this amazing master piece (in Israeli standards ofcourse Razz

)
Sammy Ofer Stadium 32,000 seats:

Good post

I didn't know that the Israeli league had so many beautiful stadiums. How are the attendance by the fans, do the stadiums get filled aswell?

Well, it depends on the team and the match, the big teams, for example, Maccabi Haifa plays in an old stadium that has 13,500 seats and there will be 10,000 fans in a simple game while the stadium will be full in a game in europe or against a rival/big team from Israel, Maccabi Tel Aviv is the only team in Israel that sold out all their season tickets which means there will be 13,000 in every home game.
A mid-table team like Hapoel Haifa plays also in the same stadium as Maccabi but has like 5,000 fans a match.

I Guess Maccabi means sports team or football team or something, since so many Israeli teams seem to have that in their name?

I don't really know much about this actually, basically they are sport organizations started 60-80 years ago in "Eretz Israel" before Israel became a nation, and sport teams chose what organization they want to belong to, but it doesn't stand for football club as you can see in the logo "Maccabi Haifa FC".
There are a few orgnizations the known ones are Maccabi, Hapoel and Betar.
