Kings Kangwa Vows Full Effort After Hapoel Be'er Sheva's Europa League Setback

Hapoel Be'er Sheva aimed to start their 2026/27 European campaign strongly but suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Icelandic side Vikingur in their opening match. The team from southern Israel did not display the form that characterized their previous season, putting their hopes of reaching the Champions League group stage for the first time at risk. The return leg is scheduled for next week in Hungary, where only a victory will keep their aspirations alive. Despite the setback, Hapoel Be'er Sheva's Zambian star Kings Kangwa remained optimistic. He scored the equalizing goal during the match and expressed confidence on social media, stating, "Next week we will give everything together, thank you for the support." The club and fans now look ahead to the crucial second leg to determine their European fate.
