Hapoel Be'er Sheva Disappointed by Ventura and Kangwa's Late Arrival to Training Camp

Hapoel Be'er Sheva has expressed clear disappointment with two of its key foreign midfielders, Kings Kangwa and Lucas Ventura, due to their late arrival at the club's training camp ahead of the UEFA Champions League qualifiers scheduled for late July. Ventura joined the team only after they arrived in Poland, while Kangwa is expected to join the squad on Wednesday, several days after the camp began. The club expected all players to be present on time and travel together from Israel, given the tight preparation schedule, and has made it clear that it will not overlook their tardiness.

In parallel, Hapoel Be'er Sheva is actively working to reduce its squad size. Alongside Ilon Almog, who did not attend the Poland camp and is expected to leave, goalkeeper Niv Eliasi, midfielder Yoav Koren, and possibly another player are set to be loaned out to free up roster spots for new signings. Eliasi will be released once he secures a contract with a foreign club.

Additionally, the club is confident that captain and defender Miguel Vitor will sign a new contract and join the training camp by the end of the week, following positive progress in negotiations. These moves are part of the club's broader strategy to prepare a competitive squad for the upcoming European campaign.
