Marked for Yoni El Malem

Transfer targets18 Jan 2027

The paperwork begins on Yoan Stoyanov

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Hapoel Acre have done the hard part with Hapoel Beer Sheva, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Match16 Jan 2027

No end in sight to Hapoel Acre's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Hapoel Acre has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Ange Messi, 20, steals the show — 7.98

Marked 7.98 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Transfer targets18 Jan 2027

Hapoel Acre rebuffed over Roei Alkukin

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Hapoel Tel Aviv have kept their man, and Hapoel Acre go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match16 Jan 2027

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona take the points off Hapoel Acre

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 Avi Shechter left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Words exchanged at Hapoel Acre

Ellis Spikner and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets18 Jan 2027

A loan move for Roei Alkukin is in the works

Hapoel Acre have made the call to Hapoel Tel Aviv. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

No hiding place for Aviv Kanarik

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Aviv Kanarik, and the manager let it.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Ofek Antman stands alone

10 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match26 Sep 2026

Hapoel Acre taken apart

1‑6 to Maccabi Haifa, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Match23 Sep 2026

Hapoel Acre out of the cup

Hapoel Beer Sheva ended it 0‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

The terraces28 Sep 2026

A cup embarrassment at Hapoel Beer Sheva follows Hapoel Acre home

0-3. Going out of a cup is one afternoon; going out like that is a week of phone-ins, and the manager will hear every one of them.

Match26 Sep 2026

The wait goes on for Hapoel Acre

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match26 Sep 2026

7 goals as Hapoel Acre and Maccabi Haifa go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between Hapoel Acre and Maccabi Haifa, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Real improvement from Yoni El Malem at Hapoel Acre

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Yoni El Malem is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Roei Shukrani gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Boardroom28 Sep 2026

Inquest at Hapoel Acre

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

In brief
