Israel National Football Team Unveils 1995 Retro Jersey
The Israel Football Association has launched a new retro jersey inspired by the national team's 1995 kit, a period considered a golden era for Israeli football. The design evokes memories of the team coached by Shlomo Sharf, which featured prominent players such as Haim Revivo, Eyal Berkovic, Tal Banin, Reuven Atar, Alon Hazan, and Ronny Rosenthal.
To commemorate the launch, a humorous video was produced featuring Eyal Berkovic and Shlomo Sharf playfully debating team lineups and formations, reminiscent of their time working together on the national team. The Football Association clarified that the retro jersey will not be worn by the team in official matches but will be available for purchase at the association's store.
"This is a special way for fans to re-experience the team's history and feel part of the Israeli football story," a statement from the association read. The Israeli national team is preparing to return to the field for upcoming Nations League matches, with four games scheduled in the next window: away against Austria on September 24, home against Ireland on September 27, home against Kosovo on October 1, and away against Ireland again on October 4.
