New Owner Alan Howard Attends First Hapoel Tel Aviv Basketball Game
For the first time, British Jewish billionaire Alan Howard was seen attending a Hapoel Tel Aviv basketball game on Thursday evening. Howard, who recently acquired a 20% stake in the Yanai Sport company that owns approximately 81% of the club, was present at the Social Super Cup game against Maccabi Tel Aviv. He joined his partners Ofer Yanai, who holds 40% of the club, Miki Malka with 20%, and Gili Re'anan with 20%. The remaining shares are held by the Hapoel Osishkin association.
Howard, 61, is the co-founder of the hedge fund Brevan Howard and is considered one of the world's wealthiest individuals, with an estimated net worth close to $4 billion. His attendance marks a significant moment for the club as it also unveils its new roster for the 2026-27 season.
