Shimon Peri, the CEO of Maccabi Kiryat Gat, expressed deep disappointment that his former club, Hapoel Afula, did not organize a farewell ceremony for him ahead of their league match on October 26th. Peri served as Hapoel Afula's CEO for four years, during which he is credited with stabilizing the club financially. He was reportedly shocked to discover that no gesture was planned to acknowledge his contributions before the game.

According to reports from senior club players, Peri delivered an emotional speech during a team meeting the night before the match. He stated, "I don't usually speak at meetings, but this time I broke my habit. I ask you to win for me. Afula hurt me. What didn't I do for this club, and when I received the lineup for tomorrow, I was amazed to discover they aren't even doing a short ceremony for me. For me and for our coach Roman Zullo, this is not just another game."

The article also notes that young goalkeeper Ram Golan will start in goal for Afula against Kiryat Gat, replacing the recently disappointing signing Guy Herman. The match is scheduled for 3:00 PM.
