For the first time since the 2017/18 season, Hapoel Be'er Sheva will wear the UEFA Champions League badge on their sleeves. This marks the club's debut appearance in the Champions League playoff stage, where all participating teams must display the official tournament logo, featuring the starball emblem, on the right sleeve of their jerseys. The badge signifies their participation in the competition and is part of UEFA's regulations for all playoff teams.

Ahead of their historic first match in the Champions League playoffs, the anthem of the tournament will be played before both the away game in Bucharest and the home leg. The badge is the official Champions League logo worn by all teams in the playoff and group stages. Teams defending the title wear a special badge depicting the trophy, while former winners display a number above the badge indicating their past victories.

This development highlights Hapoel Be'er Sheva's progress to Europe's premier club competition, reflecting their status as Israeli champions and their compliance with UEFA's branding rules for the tournament.
