Yoav Koren Joins Maccabi Petah Tikva on Loan Ahead of 2026/27 Season
Maccabi Petah Tikva officially signed midfielder Yoav Koren, who played last season for Hapoel Kfar Saba, on loan from the reigning champions Hapoel Be'er Sheva. Koren was initially expected to join Maccabi Netanya but instead will strengthen Maccabi Petah Tikva as they prepare for the 2026/27 Israeli Premier League season. The team, coached by Ziv Arie, recently secured two consecutive Toto Cup victories, including a 3-0 win over Ironi Tiberias. Maccabi Petah Tikva will open their league campaign on Saturday with a home match against Hapoel Kiryat Shmona, aiming to carry their positive momentum from the Toto Cup into the league season.
