Hapoel Be'er Sheva's Kings Kangwa Vows Full Effort After Europa League Loss
Hapoel Be'er Sheva aimed to start their 2026/27 European campaign strongly but suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Icelandic club Vikingur. 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 next week in Hungary is crucial, as anything less than a win would end their aspirations.
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 decisive match with determination to overturn the deficit and advance in the competition.
