Maccabi Tel Aviv Refuses Hapoel's Request to Field All Foreign Players
A dispute has emerged between Tel Aviv's two basketball clubs, Hapoel and Maccabi, even before the season begins. Hapoel Tel Aviv's owner, Ofer Yanai, requested that Maccabi Tel Aviv allow all foreign players to be registered for the upcoming Social Super Cup. Yanai's aim was to have the game played in a EuroLeague format, permitting teams to register a maximum number of players so fans could see the new signings.
Maccabi Tel Aviv rejected Hapoel's request. The Yellows stated that both teams would be allowed to register five foreign players, the same limit as for the Israeli Premier League. The Social Super Cup game is scheduled for September 17th at Menora Mivtachim Arena.
