Iyad Abu Abid Returns to Bnei Sakhnin After Half Season at Maccabi Bnei Reineh

Iyad Abu Abid, the 31-year-old defender, is set to return to Bnei Sakhnin for a second stint after spending half a season with Maccabi Bnei Reineh. The move was confirmed on July 1, 2026, marking Abu Abid's return to the club where he previously played and even captained for several matches. During his time at Bnei Reineh, Abu Abid became a regular starter but was unable to prevent the team's relegation to the National League. Abu Abid has a notable career history, including spells at Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Tel Aviv, as well as six appearances for the Israeli national team. His return to Bnei Sakhnin will extend his tenure with the club to two and a half years overall.
