William Agada Set to Return to Hapoel Haifa Ahead of Toto Cup Quarterfinal

Hapoel Haifa is preparing to host Hapoel Kiryat Shmona on Saturday at 20:30 with the goal of securing a spot in the Toto Cup semifinals. The club emphasizes the importance of the tournament and knows that only a victory will guarantee advancement. Coach Haim Silvas plans to field his strongest lineup except for a forced change due to Dario Zuparic's suspension; George Diba will replace him alongside Ivan Kričak in central defense. Alon Turgeman will lead the attacking trio, with Wahib Habiballah on the right wing and Liran Rotman on the left.

Attention will also be on the bench, where new signing Shay Elias from Hapoel Be'er Sheva is included in the squad for the first time since his transfer and awaits his debut. Another player on trial, winger Jayden Braaf, who has participated in recent training sessions, will also be on the bench as the coaching staff evaluates him during the match.

Meanwhile, the club is close to finalizing the return of William Agada for a second stint. Agreements have been reached with Agada's representatives, and he is expected to sign a contract worth approximately 200,000 euros per season, pending final approval from club owner Yoav Katz.
