Hapoel Ramat Gan-Givatayim officially began preparations for the 2026/27 season on Tuesday with their first training session held at the Israel National Teams complex in Shefayim. The newly promoted club will train there temporarily until their new training facility near the former National Stadium is completed within the next two months.

The coaching staff, led by head coach Massai Dago and his assistants Shmuel Shayman, Tomer Hazut, goalkeeper coach Ido Nehoshtai, and fitness coaches Almog Kushnir and Mor Cohen, participated alongside the evolving player roster. New signings include Maksim Plakuschenko from Maccabi Netanya and Idan Barness from Hapoel Tel Aviv. The club plans to announce additional Israeli and foreign player signings soon to strengthen the squad.

Off the field, the club is advancing significant projects including the construction of the new training complex, expected to finish in the coming months. The management is also finalizing arrangements regarding the home stadium, with a resolution anticipated shortly. After continuing training sessions in Israel, the team will travel to Austria for a training camp to complete their professional preparations ahead of the league season start.
