  • Hapoel Be'er Sheva fans cleared to attend November 26 away match in Georgia.
  • Around 1,000 supporters will be allowed into the 20,000-capacity Batumi Arena.
  • The team has earned only one point in three Europa League matches this season.
  • Previous European games saw fan restrictions due to security concerns and location.
  • Hapoel Be'er Sheva will host Omonia Nicosia in Hungary on Thursday.

Hapoel Be'er Sheva will "host" Omonia Nicosia in Hungary on Thursday in the Europa League, after their fans were barred from previous matches. However, the Israeli champions received positive news on Friday: their supporters will be permitted to attend the away game against Besiktas. This match is scheduled for November 26, approximately three and a half weeks from now, and will take place in Batumi, Georgia, as Israeli teams do not travel to Turkey. Around 1,000 Hapoel Be'er Sheva fans will be allowed into the 20,000-capacity Batumi Arena.

So far, Hapoel Be'er Sheva has earned one point in three Europa League games. They drew 0-0 with Dinamo Zagreb in their first match, then lost 2-1 to AZ Alkmaar (a game where their fans were prohibited from entering due to "security" reasons) and were defeated 4-0 by Union SG (in a match held in Germany without spectators).

Before their upcoming European fixture against Omonia, Hapoel Be'er Sheva will play Maccabi Petah Tikva in the Israeli Premier League on Sunday. They aim to build on their recent momentum following a decisive 5-2 victory over Maccabi Haifa last Monday.
