Maccabi Haifa had planned a tribute ceremony for player Dolev Haziza during the upcoming Saturday match against Maccabi Netanya, to honor his seven seasons and significant contributions to the club. A commemorative video and a gift were prepared for the occasion. However, Haziza requested to postpone the ceremony until he is medically fit and able to be part of the team's squad. Maccabi Haifa agreed to his request, and the tribute is now expected to take place at the next meeting between the two teams at Sammy Ofer Stadium, provided Haziza can participate.
Despite previous critical remarks Haziza made about Maccabi Haifa's professional director Lior Refaelov and coach Barak Bakhar, the club initiated discussions with him about the planned honor. The team is currently preparing for the match against Maccabi Netanya following a loss to Hapoel Tel Aviv. For the upcoming game, Kenny Saief is expected to replace Yila Bayi in the lineup, and Yarin Levi is slated to start instead of the suspended Eitan Azulai. The team analyzed their recent performance, noting positive aspects in pace, attitude, and overall ability, attributing their loss to bad luck rather than a lack of effort.
