Hapoel Tel Aviv Owner's Son Sends Message After Derby Defeat
Hapoel Tel Aviv suffered a significant 4-1 defeat to Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Tel Aviv derby on Monday, marking their first league loss of the season. Following the painful loss to their archrivals, Moise Safra, son of the club's owner, addressed the team's supporters via his X account, posting the message: "The only way forward is through the heart."
Safra is known for his active presence on X, where he frequently shares updates regarding the team's activities. His father, Edmond Safra, acquired the club in the summer of 2024 when they were in the second division, the National League. He successfully led the team back to the Premier League, and last season they finished fourth, securing a spot in European competition.
This season, Hapoel Tel Aviv began their European campaign by advancing past Ludogorets and Katowice in the Conference League qualifiers before being eliminated by Atalanta.
