For the sixth consecutive year, Hapoel Tel Aviv Football Club is participating in the fight against breast cancer. Players will wear special pink uniforms during their upcoming match against Ironi Tiberias on Saturday, a color recognized globally for breast cancer awareness. The women's senior team will also wear the pink kits in their away game against Hapoel Katamon next Thursday, and the youth team players will don them on Wednesday against Hapoel Jerusalem.
Players from both the men's and women's teams met with five breast cancer survivors who volunteer for the "Achath Esreh" (One of Nine) association. These survivors, Asnat Uliel, Danit Glazer, Hilit Vaman Shamai, Shlomit Laufer, and Daniela Pink Neimark, participated in a photoshoot. Before the upcoming match, a ceremony will be held with the survivors, urging everyone to get screened, emphasizing that early detection saves lives.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, aiming to highlight prevention, early detection, and treatment. While breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Israel, a 90% recovery rate is possible with early diagnosis. "Achath Esreh" and Assuta have developed a risk assessment questionnaire for women over 25, with follow-up recommendations based on age and risk level.
Guy Primor, the club's CEO, expressed pride in continuing the pink jersey tradition across various club departments and highlighted the strengthening partnership with "Achath Esreh." He encouraged everyone to complete the survey and get screened. Shlomit Laufer, a volunteer and survivor, shared her personal experience of being diagnosed at 30 and emphasized the importance of self-examination and early detection. Neta Oron from "Achath Esreh" reiterated that early detection saves lives and encouraged women over 25 to use the risk assessment tool before consulting their doctor.
Separately, before the Hapoel Tel Aviv vs. Ironi Tiberias match on Saturday, a festive event will take place starting at 4:30 PM, organized by the club's "Shaveh" group (integrating people with disabilities) and employees from IBI Investment House. This event, part of the "Shaveh Zeh Shaveh" project, marks the launch of a campaign involving the "Shaveh" group and other similar teams. The event will feature children's activities, bouncy castles, and photo booths, with appearances by the club's social media personality Lidor Admoni and actor Tal Moseri, who serves as the project's ambassador.
