- Issawi Frej failed to qualify for the Football Association leadership election.
- Incumbent chairman Shino Zuarz will continue in his role for another four years.
- Frej gathered only 94 votes, falling short of the 10% signature requirement.
- The election will proceed as a formality with Zuarz as the sole candidate.
Issawi Frej will not be running for the chairmanship of the Football Association after failing to secure the required number of signatures. Incumbent chairman Shino Zuarz will continue in his role for another four years as the sole candidate.
The decision was announced in an official letter by Ran Cohen Nissan, Director of the Legal Department, and Boaz City, Legal Advisor. Frej managed to gather only 94 votes, representing just 7.3% of the total needed to run for the position. Israeli law mandates that candidates must obtain support from at least 10% of the voting body to be eligible.
As Frej did not meet this threshold, he has been disqualified from the election. The upcoming election will therefore be a formality, with Zuarz set to be re-elected unopposed.
