The Israeli National League soccer club Hapoel Rishon LeZion is on the verge of being acquired by business figures Dudu and Natalie Vaturi, who currently own Liga Bet club Bnei Eilat.

The Vaturi couple recently met with the Mayor of Rishon LeZion, Raz Kinastlich, expressing their readiness to finalize the acquisition immediately. Under the proposed terms, the Vaturis are set to inject 2 million shekels into the club during the current season.
Furthermore, the current leadership, including Chairman Eli Senior, CEO Avi Levy, and Technical Manager Avi Fitousi, are expected to remain in their positions and will be given an opportunity to prove their capabilities.
Sources close to the three executives and a senior municipal official confirmed the impending deal. They stated that Mayor Kinastlich is determined to lead the team to the Premier League and described the Vaturi family as valuable assets, characterizing them as trustworthy, serious individuals passionate about football. Hopes are high that the deal will be concluded in the coming days.
