Beitar Tel Aviv is set to submit a slate of candidates for the Israel Football Association's (IFA) board, led by former minister Issawi Freige and Shaul Schneider, chairman of the Ashdod Port Directorate. The submission ensures that elections for the IFA board will take place on December 8. As Beitar Tel Aviv has prior representation on the IFA board, it requires support from clubs totaling only 5% of the association's points, compared to the 20% threshold for a new slate. This mechanism guarantees the presentation of a candidate list and the formation of a new board through democratic elections, rather than a predetermined list without a vote. Schneider expressed hope for achieving success in the elections and selecting a new, diverse, and professional management to advance Israeli football. Freige stated that the collaboration aims to ensure democratic elections for the IFA board, promote diversity, and bring in individuals with new ideas and different thinking.
