Three years after his murder, the Israeli football club Bnei Sakhnin will hold a memorial match for its legendary former player Lior Assulin, who was killed on October 7. The game, to be held at Doha Stadium, will feature stars from the club's historic 2004 State Cup-winning team, including Gabriel Lima and Rafi Cohen, who played alongside Assulin. Goalkeeper Camouco Kamara and defender Arsent Atchi are also expected to participate. The team will be coached by Eyal Lachman, who led them to the 2004 title. Assulin's family has previously expressed anger over the club's lack of commemoration, but the management has now decided to act. The club stated, "Bnei Sakhnin club holds deep respect and love for Lior Assulin, may he rest in peace. We will not forget for a moment Lior's commitment to the club, which contributed greatly to our belief in the power of sport to connect people." They also thanked all participants and invited the public to attend the event. Assulin played only one season with Bnei Sakhnin but is remembered for scoring two goals in the State Cup final against Hapoel Haifa, securing the club's sole cup title and placing them on the Israeli football map. The match will be broadcast live on Sport 5. Many Bnei Sakhnin fans have supported the initiative to honor their former star.
