Hapoel Ironi Tiberias secured a crucial 1-1 draw against Netanya, earning their first points in six weeks. The result provided a much-needed boost, especially after a turbulent week involving the arrest of club officials and player interrogations by police. Goalkeeper Ido Sharon was hailed as the star of the match for his crucial saves in the closing minutes, with Bar Cohen and Nene Gambel also receiving praise for their performances.
Off the field, the club is embroiled in a dispute over a plea deal with the Football Association's legal department. The proposed agreement would see three points deducted from Tiberias in a case concerning "transfer irregularities." While the deal was expected to be formally approved this week, club sources revealed that owner Aryeh Kalmanzon intends to reject it, stating it is "not good enough for Tiberias."
Control of the club was transferred to trustee Adv. Liza Chadash by court order due to a business dispute between Kalmanzon and his former partner Miki Biton. However, there is significant doubt regarding who has the authority to sign the plea deal on behalf of Ironi Tiberias, and whether Chadash's powers extend to such an agreement.
Kalmanzon received strong support from fans at the stadium, with banners bearing his name displayed and his backing evident on stadium advertising boards.
