Major Israeli sports clubs are reportedly seeking wealthy investors to change their financial realities, with Maccabi Haifa among those said to be on the market. Amidst speculation linking businessman Assaf Rappaport, founder of WIZ, to potential acquisitions, sources close to the business community have clarified that Rappaport has no intention of purchasing a sports team. Despite being approached with offers to invest in sports clubs, both basketball and soccer, Rappaport's current focus lies elsewhere. While Rappaport has been seen attending games, such as a Hapoel Tel Aviv basketball match, these appearances were as a spectator, and no business initiatives with any team are currently being considered. Any attempts to connect him to the acquisition of a sports club are reportedly far from the truth.
