Maccabi Haifa Captain Dolev Haziza Leaves After Seven Years and Three Championships
Dolev Haziza, the captain of Maccabi Haifa and a fan favorite, has departed the club after seven years. The winger, who joined from Bnei Yehuda in 2019, played a key role in Maccabi Haifa's three consecutive Israeli Premier League titles from 2021 to 2023 and participated in three European competitions, including a historic group stage appearance in the UEFA Champions League.
Maccabi Haifa officially announced their farewell to Haziza, praising his significant contributions and leadership both on and off the pitch. The club highlighted his passion, commitment, and deep connection to the team and its supporters, thanking him for seven years of dedication and wishing him success in his next chapter.
Haziza made his Israeli Premier League debut 11 years ago against Maccabi Haifa and, after a brief loan to Hapoel Ramat Gan in the second division, returned to the top flight before signing with Maccabi Haifa. At age 31, he has now signed a two-year contract with Maccabi Netanya, marking a new phase in his career.
