The Israeli football club Hapoel Ironi Tiberias is on the verge of insolvency due to an outstanding debt exceeding 3 million shekels. The club, currently under the management of trustee Adv. Liza Hadash appointed by the District Court amid an ownership dispute, has failed to settle a 200,000 shekel debt owed to former equipment manager Ilan Ben Dayan.
Ben Dayan's representative, Adv. Shay Tal, has warned that insolvency proceedings will be initiated within five days if the debt is not paid. Tal stated that the trustee is unresponsive to letters and that the club is not complying with a September 2026 court ruling that formalized a settlement agreement. He added that the club might face a further 12-point deduction.
The club is also facing administrative and financial difficulties beyond the debt. Sambinha, a player whose suspension for an illegal transfer case has ended, is still awaiting official registration with the budgetary control board. This has prevented him from playing in recent matches, including the latest game against Hapoel Be'er Sheva, and his availability for the upcoming match against Hapoel Tel Aviv is uncertain.
Despite these challenges, the club is hoping for the return of players Kais Ganam and Chris Kouakou to training. Meanwhile, David Kalitins and Niv Gottlieb have rejoined the squad. The team currently sits at the bottom of the Premier League standings.
