Maccabi Guard's Wife Says Hapoel Fan Threw Food at Their 6-Year-Old Son

Camila Promlet, the wife of Maccabi Tel Aviv guard Rokas Giedraitis? Wait, actually guard Efe? No, the article says wife of Maccabi Tel Aviv guard Iffe Lundberg, said a Hapoel Tel Aviv fan threw food and a flag at their 6-year-old son during the derby because he was wearing a yellow shirt. She made the accusation in an Instagram post and wrote that the behavior was “completely disgusting.”

Promlet said she confronted the fan, who allegedly replied that the child was a “legitimate target” because he was dressed in yellow. She then blasted him directly online, calling him disgusting and saying he should be ashamed of himself and “go to therapy.” She also posted an unusual invitation, telling him to come on Sunday and meet her husband face to face.

The incident came after Maccabi Tel Aviv beat Hapoel Tel Aviv 102-98 in Game 2 of the Israeli playoff final series, a win that left Maccabi one victory away from the championship. Lundberg was one of Maccabi’s top performers, finishing with 25 points and a 32 efficiency rating.

The clash in the stands adds to the tension around the series. In Game 1, an argument broke out between Maccabi players and a Hapoel fan in the stands, prompting security intervention and the fan’s removal. The Israel Basketball Association prosecutor later fined Hapoel over that incident, a decision that drew criticism from Hapoel owner Ofer Yannay.
