Hapoel Be'er Sheva Confident Pedro Amador Is Fit and Will Join Team

Hapoel Be'er Sheva is optimistic that Portuguese defender Pedro Amador is fit and will soon join the club, despite recent rumors of injury. The reigning Israeli champions, disappointed by their 2-1 loss to Vikingur in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers earlier this week, are already focusing on the upcoming second leg in hopes of securing advancement to the next stage. Amador is expected to undergo thorough medical examinations upon arrival, with the club confident he will strengthen their defensive line. If all goes well, he will sign a two-year contract.

Meanwhile, Be'er Sheva continues to seek an additional foreign center-back, aiming to complete the signing before the next European qualifying round. Amador developed in Sporting Lisbon's youth system and played for Belenenses and Braga before joining Moreirense, where he helped the team gain promotion to Portugal's top division in the 2022/23 season. In 2024, he transferred to Atlanta United in Major League Soccer, where he has made 27 appearances and scored one goal in 2025, with limited playing time so far this year.

The club's management remains hopeful that Amador's arrival will provide a significant upgrade to their squad as they prepare for the crucial upcoming matches in European competition.
