Beitar Tel Aviv is set to submit a slate of candidates for the Football Association's board of directors, spearheaded by former minister Issawi Freige and Shaul Schneider, chairman of the Ashdod Port Directorate. The submission of this list ensures that elections for the Football Association's board will take place on December 8. As Beitar Tel Aviv has previously been represented on the board, the club is only required to present letters of support from clubs totaling 5% of the association's member clubs' points. This contrasts with the 20% threshold needed for a new slate, thereby guaranteeing a contested election for the new board.
Shaul Schneider expressed hope for achieving success in the elections, aiming to select a new, diverse, and professional management that will advance Israeli football. Issawi Freige stated that the collaboration is intended to ensure democratic elections for the association's leadership, promote diversity, and bring in individuals with new ideas and different thinking.
