Maccabi Haifa Registers Nigel Lonwijk as Trialist Amid Foreign Player Quota
Maccabi Haifa announced its lineup for the Toto Cup match against Hapoel Kiryat Shmona in Netanya, featuring new signing defender Nigel Lonwijk making his debut. Due to the club already having eight foreign players on its roster, Lonwijk was registered as a trialist, a status allowed in the Toto Cup competition. This bureaucratic move addresses a larger issue, as Haifa must release one foreign player before the transfer window closes to comply with league regulations. The current foreign players on the squad include Tsunami, Yella Betay, Peter Agba, Nahuel, Pedrão, Andrija Novakovich, Bruninho, and Cedric Don.
