Squad16 Nov 2026

Wallace Yan is the real thing at 21

A season average of 7.19 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. Hapoel Kiryat Shmona know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Words exchanged at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

Wallace Yan 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.

Player ratings16 Nov 2026

Nobody could get near Matty Cudjoe

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match14 Nov 2026

A bad afternoon for Hapoel Kiryat Shmona against Maccabi Haifa

0‑1 to Maccabi Haifa, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Match14 Nov 2026

After 4 games, Hapoel Kiryat Shmona finally taste it again

The first defeat in 4 matches. The manager will say it had to come; the dressing room will say it did not have to come against Maccabi Haifa; the supporters will say both, in that order, all week.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Ben Atzili answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Ariel Sheratzky

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Somebody else is better right now than Alfredo

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

Looking ahead16 Nov 2026

Ido Vayer faces his old club

Hapoel Haifa next, and one man in the Hapoel Kiryat Shmona dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Match23 Sep 2026

The small margins put Hapoel Kiryat Shmona out

Out, 1‑1 to Maccabi Petach Tikva, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Almog Glazer could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.90

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.90, 1 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Daniel decides it from twelve yards

1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Match26 Sep 2026

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

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

Squad28 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

Wallace Yan was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The terraces28 Sep 2026

One of their own: Almog Glazer

He is 14 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match26 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for Hapoel Kiryat Shmona against Maccabi Netanya

0‑1 to Maccabi Netanya, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Rüfət Abdullazadə fails from the spot

Twelve yards and the whole ground holding its breath, and it did not go in. He will put his name down for the next one, which is the only thing to do.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

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 0‑1 Ben Atzili left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad24 Aug 2026

The knee: Harel Goldenberg out for 34 days

34 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Hapoel Kiryat Shmona lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Wallace Yan is a medical away from Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

The deal with Flamengo is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona rebuffed over Niv Yehoshua

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

Squad24 Aug 2026

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona lose Awajo Asefa

16 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

Niv Gabay 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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Almog Glazer signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Almog Glazer and Hapoel Kiryat Shmona agree another 3 years.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona turn down the training-ground plan

It is the quietest way a club tells you what its ambitions are. The money was asked for, the money was refused, and the people who work there every day now know exactly where they stand.

Looking ahead24 Aug 2026

Liel Deri goes back to face Beitar Jerusalem

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Liel Deri’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Hapoel Kiryat Shmona needing him to play as if none of it matters.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Almog Glazer

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

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona rebuffed over Xander Severina

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

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

Niv Gabay and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona ask about Wallace Yan

A loan enquiry to Flamengo: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona ask about Ruan Índio

A loan enquiry to Cruzeiro: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona ask about Amit Lemkin

A loan enquiry to Hapoel Tel Aviv: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad17 Aug 2026

No place for Liam Hermesh in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Hapoel Kiryat Shmona are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Market17 Aug 2026

Matty Cudjoe arrives on loan

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona have taken Matty Cudjoe on loan from Bnei Sakhnin — cover where cover was needed.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Ramzi Safouri has company in his position

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Ramzi Safouri keeps the shirt for now, at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona's convenience rather than his own.

No thanks: Cayetano Bolzán rejects the move

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Gimnasia La Plata, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Hapoel Haifa tell Hapoel Kiryat Shmona: Rotem Hatuel is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market10 Aug 2026

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona promote Manor Revivo from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Manor Revivo has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market10 Aug 2026

Almog Glazer steps up from the Hapoel Kiryat Shmona academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Almog Glazer has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Eli Shechter joins the Hapoel Kiryat Shmona first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Eli Shechter is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona promote Sagiv Cohen from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Sagiv Cohen has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Awajo Asefa in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona try to borrow Matty Cudjoe

Bnei Sakhnin have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A wage question at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

Daniel has done the arithmetic and does not like the answer. Nothing corrodes a squad faster, and no club has ever solved it by explaining the wage structure to a footballer.
