Israeli football club Bnei Sakhnin will hold a memorial match for club legend Lior Assulin, who was killed on October 7th, three years after his death. The game will take place at the club's Doha Stadium and will feature a team of Bnei Sakhnin veterans against a team of Israel national team veterans. Assulin's family, who had previously expressed anger over the club's lack of commemoration, will be in attendance.
Assulin played only one season with Bnei Sakhnin but is remembered for scoring two goals in the State Cup final against Hapoel Ramat Gan, securing the club's first and only State Cup title. This victory placed Sakhnin on the Israeli football map, leading to European competition and international recognition as a representative of the Arab sector in Israel's top league.
The veteran team that won the cup was coached by Eyal Lachman, with Abbas Suan as captain. Assulin, alongside Brazilian striker Gabriel Lima, formed a potent attacking duo known as "Assulima." The memorial match will be broadcast live on Sport 5.
Many Bnei Sakhnin fans have voiced their support for the initiative to honor their former star.
