Wikipedia - Hapoel Bnei Zalafa F.C.
Hapoel Bnei Zalafa (Hebrew: הפועל בני זלפה) is an Arab-Israeli football club based in Zalafa. The club currently plays in Liga Alef North.
History
The club was founded in 2010 and registered to play in Liga Gimel, where it was placed in the Jezreel division, where it played for five seasons, until it was promoted just before the beginning of the 2015–16 season, as F.C. Givat Olga and Hapoel Hadera merged, leaving an available spot in Liga Bet, which was given to the club as the third best runners-up in Liga Gimel (as the two best runners-up, Maccabi Bnei Nahf and Ahi Bir al-Maksur were already promoted during the summer break). The club finished 4th in its first season in Liga Bet and qualified to the promotion play-offs, losing to Hapoel Umm al-Fahm in the divisional finals on penalties.
The team's colors, emblem, and style of play reflect the cultural heritage of the region, making them a beloved representative of their community. Hapoel Bnei Zalafa plays its home matches at a local stadium, where fans gather to support their team with fervor and enthusiasm. The club's mission extends beyond the pitch, as it actively engages in various social initiatives, promoting sportsmanship and teamwork among youth in the area.
With a focus on both competitive success and community engagement, Hapoel Bnei Zalafa continues to strive for excellence in Israeli soccer, aiming to make its mark in national competitions while nurturing the next generation of players.
