Mohamed Abu Fani Sent Off in Partizan Belgrade's Loss to Hapoel Be'er Sheva

Mohamed Abu Fani, the Israeli midfielder who recently transferred to Serbian club Partizan Belgrade, was sent off during their Champions League playoff match against Hapoel Be'er Sheva on August 11, 2026. Abu Fani, a former player for Ferencváros and Maccabi Haifa, came off the bench at halftime but struggled to make an impact. In stoppage time, he received a red card following a harsh tackle on Hapoel Be'er Sheva's Gibril Diop. The Israeli champions secured a 2-0 victory, advancing to the Champions League playoff round. Abu Fani's dismissal marked a disappointing night for the player, who had hoped to shine in the competition but instead saw his team eliminated and himself sent off.
