Recanati Family Buys 29% Stake in Maccabi Tel Aviv, Revealing Club's $172.5 Million Valuation
Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball club has undergone significant ownership changes following a major management shakeup. On July 7, 2026, it was revealed that the Recanati family purchased a 29% stake in the club from the Federman family, who previously held shares through Padenco Sport. This acquisition effectively removes the Federman family from the club's ownership.
The Recanati family invested $50 million for the 29% share, implying a total club valuation of approximately $172.5 million. According to an official statement from the Recanati family, they exercised their right of first refusal to buy the shares from Padenco Sport, increasing their ownership to 58% of Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The Recanati family also announced plans to invest tens of millions of dollars in the club's player budget over the coming years, signaling a commitment to strengthening the team. This transaction sheds light on the true market value of one of Israel's premier basketball clubs amid ongoing management transitions.
