William Agada Impresses in First Training with Hapoel Haifa Ahead of Premier League Return

Hapoel Haifa continues its preparations for the upcoming Premier League match against Hapoel Tel Aviv on Sunday, despite their next league game being postponed. William Agada joined the team for the first time on August 23, 2026, completing medical tests and participating in a light individual training session. He is expected to take part in a full team training session the following day, with the coaching staff assessing his readiness to be included in the squad for the next match.

The club expressed surprise at Agada's physical condition, noting he "does not have a gram of fat" and appears fit and eager to work hard despite a period of inactivity. Meanwhile, Tamir Arbel is returning to training after several weeks out due to injury, and Wahib Habiballah is expected to resume full training by Wednesday, potentially making him available for the upcoming game.

Additionally, winger Siakina Diakite, currently on trial, is scheduled to arrive in Israel on Thursday. He will not be registered for league matches immediately, as the coaching staff, led by Haim Silvas, will evaluate his performance in training before deciding on a contract for the season.
