Hapoel Petah Tikva is at risk of forfeiting their recent 1-1 draw against Maccabi Netanya due to fielding 12 players simultaneously on the field. The incident occurred when player Roy Levi did not leave the pitch after being substituted as part of a triple substitution. According to football regulations, this constitutes the "participation of an ineligible player," a violation that can result in a technical loss. The rules clearly state that if a team has 12 players on the field during the game, and this is clearly documented, a technical loss will be imposed.
A similar precedent occurred in May when Maccabi Beer Sheva's women's team suffered a technical loss against Ness Ziona. In that match, an additional player entered the field without a proper substitution or notification to the referees, despite the team already being numerically disadvantaged. This led to a technical loss for Maccabi Beer Sheva.
