Hapoel Jerusalem Secures Historic First European Win Against Buducnost

On July 25, 2026, they defeated Montenegrin champions Buducnost 1-0 in a third-place match held in Greece. The winning goal was scored early in the seventh minute by Brazilian player Zhailey, and the score remained unchanged until the final whistle.

The match and result represent a significant achievement for Israeli women's football on the continental stage.
