16-Year-Old Yarin Abuhatzira Scores Twice as Maccabi Netanya Wins 5-0 in Preseason
Maccabi Netanya continued its preparations for the 2026/27 season with a strong 5-0 victory over Polish side Cracovia Krakow, who finished sixth in their domestic league last season. The match took place during the team's training camp in Poland on Sunday, July 12, 2026. Among the standout performers was 16-year-old Yarin Abuhatzira, who scored twice, impressing coach Roni Levy.
Other goal scorers for the yellow-and-black squad included Basem Zazoura, Oz Bilu, and Metos Dabo. Ahead of the new season, coach Levy is actively seeking to strengthen the squad by adding a central defender and two midfielders, including players capable of playing on the wings. This need arose after the departure of winger Riberto Tabarsh, leaving the team with only one winger, Oz Bilu.
Club owner Russ Kastin has also acknowledged the necessity for further reinforcements to ensure competitiveness in the Israeli Premier League. The team’s ongoing efforts to bolster its roster reflect its ambitions for the upcoming season.
