Maccabi Haifa's owner, Yaakov Shahar, has officially announced his intention to find a new entity to take over the football club. Shahar, who has been associated with the club for over 35 years, stated that he has received several inquiries from interested parties and has decided to engage THE RAINE GROUP, a firm specializing in sports business transactions, to assist in identifying a suitable buyer.

In a statement released Wednesday, Shahar emphasized that his search for a serious body to advance the club is not new. He acknowledged the significant interest surrounding Maccabi Haifa, particularly regarding its ownership, and urged fans to rely only on official communications, cautioning against inaccurate media reports and speculation.

Shahar stressed that the transfer of ownership will only occur if the prospective buyer can guarantee the club's continued success and development. He affirmed his commitment to managing, investing in, and leading the club with pride and love until such a transition takes place.

The club's future under new ownership is a significant topic, with Shahar seeking a partner who can uphold and build upon the club's legacy in Israeli sports.
