The Israeli Football Association prosecutor, Adv. Gilad Bergman, filed charges against Hapoel Petah Tikva on Wednesday concerning the incident where 12 players participated in a match against Maccabi Netanya. Notably, Bergman did not request a technical loss for Hapoel Petah Tikva. While the prosecutor has the authority to recommend sanctions, and disciplinary court judges typically consider these recommendations, Bergman chose to leave the matter open to the disciplinary court's discretion. This decision comes after Hapoel Petah Tikva allegedly fielded an ineligible player during the game. Maccabi Netanya, the opposing team, had previously petitioned the court to declare a technical loss for Hapoel Petah Tikva, which would have awarded them three points. This request stemmed from an incident where Hapoel Petah Tikva player Roi Levi remained on the field during a penalty kick for Maccabi Netanya. This case is expected to be lengthy, as any decision by the disciplinary court is likely to be appealed to the Supreme Court.
