Maccabi Haifa's Amputee Team to Compete in Conference League Tournament in Bucharest
Maccabi Haifa's amputee football team, composed of Israeli national players, is set to participate in the upcoming Conference League tournament in Bucharest next month. The team will face off against Celtic from Scotland, Panathinaikos from Greece, and local club Steaua Bucharest. This initiative began to take shape after October 7, with Sharon Paz serving as the coach.
Among the standout players is Ben Binyamin, who played for many years in the Israeli National League and was injured while fleeing the Nova party. Another notable member is Ben Maman, a promising talent who was injured in a car accident. Other key players include Aviran Ohana and goalkeeper Or Hershkovitz. Maccabi Haifa has officially adopted the amputee football branch, hosting the team several times at Kfar Galim and organizing an exhibition match against the senior team.
This project highlights the club's commitment to supporting athletes with disabilities and promoting inclusive sports within Israel.
