Despite intentions to sell the club, Maccabi Haifa owner Yaakov Shahar is proceeding with plans to expand and upgrade the team's youth academy training complex in Kiryat. Shahar visited the facility last week and informed youth department staff, coaches, and players about the planned improvements. These upgrades include renovating buildings and converting the upper field to artificial turf. The municipality also plans to establish a Metronit (bus rapid transit) line with a station at the complex to ease travel for young players.
Concurrently, the club is still seeking a buyer. While Shahar has authorized the Raine Group to find a potential purchaser, club officials state that no serious negotiations are currently underway with any potential buyer. The Raine Group continues its efforts to find a serious investor, similar to past negotiations with an American group led by Adam Fried.
