Players and staff of Hapoel Tiberias have received their October salaries, bringing an end to days of uncertainty. The payments were transferred Sunday morning after a court order to seize owner Aryeh Kalmanzon's guarantees was averted. The court had initially placed an injunction on the guarantees following a request by trustee Liza Chadash to the Budget Control Authority. The issue was resolved when alternative guarantees were utilized instead of Kalmanzon's.
Despite this payment, the club still faces significant financial challenges. Tiberias's bank accounts remain frozen by the Income Tax Authority due to outstanding debts, and Chadash has not yet reached a settlement. The team has not yet resumed training ahead of the league's return from the international break, as their home stadium in Tiberias is currently undergoing turf replacement. They are scheduled to train at alternative fields starting Monday.
Separately, a disciplinary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday at the Football Association. The association requested an additional hearing before approving a plea deal that would deduct three points from Tiberias's record in connection with a "player registration" (ironim) scandal.
