Maccabi Haifa is preparing for a match against Hapoel Jerusalem at Teddy Stadium on Monday at 8:30 PM, but fan attendance is uncertain due to a boycott. The boycott stems from fan dissatisfaction with police conduct during previous games at the Jerusalem stadium. The League Management and Hapoel Jerusalem issued a joint statement on Friday, including a commitment from the police for proper conduct. However, fans have been slow to purchase tickets, with only 700 sold to Maccabi Haifa supporters as of the latest check. Fan organizations are being closely watched to see if they will lift the boycott, which would likely open the floodgates for ticket sales. Maccabi Haifa's club officials stated they support their fans' decision on whether to attend, acknowledging that a large turnout could provide a significant professional boost. Hapoel Jerusalem hopes that Maccabi Haifa fans will ultimately decide to attend, which could significantly increase the club's revenue by hundreds of thousands of shekels. Developments are possible in the more than 48 hours leading up to the game.
