Hapoel Tiberias FC has informed player Sambeia that he cannot be registered due to financial issues, potentially leading to a dispute with FIFA. The club's trustee, Adv. Liza Hadash, is prioritizing payments to staff and registered players, meaning Sambeia is likely to part ways with the team through arbitration, possibly involving FIFA. Sambeia's camp is reportedly furious and demanding his release without a fee so he can sign with another club as a free agent.
The defender, who has completed a suspension, has not played due to the club's financial problems. Tiberias claims the registration control is creating difficulties and that they received legal advice not to pay Sambeia for his suspension period. Unlike players David Kaltins and Niv Gottlieb, who returned from three-month suspensions and were registered, Tiberias was reportedly asked for an additional 800,000 shekels in guarantees to register Sambeia, a sum the club cannot currently raise.
Sambeia's agent, Adv. Shahar Greenberg, expressed strong criticism of the club's conduct, stating, "They need to be severely punished for their behavior. If it doesn't come from the Association's arbitration, it will come from FIFA." He added that the situation is "bizarre" given a signed two-year contract from the previous season is now not part of the approved agreements for the current season, indicating a significant problem for both the club and the registration control. Greenberg suggested the club should have done everything to keep Sambeia, but if Tiberias has accepted relegation, it might be better for him not to play there.
