This Saturday’s matches in the Youth Division

Saturday will see four games played in the Maccabi Tel Aviv Youth Division, with the Under-17s at home and the other three teams playing away

This Saturday's league matches in the Maccabi Tel Aviv Youth Division will not include the Under-19s, who will be playing a friendly against the senior team of Hapoel Machane Yehuda. Their league match against Beitar Tubruk, scheduled for this week-end, has been postponed to October 22^nd because of the first of the Under-19 European Championship qualifying matches being played by the Israeli national Youth Team next week, starting on Tuesday October 8^th against Italy. Two days later it's the turn of Denmark and on Sunday October 13^th they'll face Lichtenstein. All the matches will be played at Petah Tikva's "Moshava" Stadium at 5pm in the afternoon. Maccabi Tel Aviv "Shachar" have four representatives in head coach Eli Ochana's national Under-19 squad: defenders Shaun Goldberg and Guy Aviv and midfielders Dan Glazer and Dor Peretz.

This is matchweek three for the four Youth Division teams who will be playing this Saturday. With the Youth Division's top side, the Under-19s, absent from this week-end's fixture schedule, the Under-17s will be hosting Hapoel Haifa at Maccabi's Kiryat Shalom training ground in matchweek three of the Under-17s Premier League. Having won their first two fixtures of the new season, Maccabi's Under-16s will head out for an away match at Section Nes Tsiona. The ten Maccabi Tel Aviv Youth Division children's teams who have yet to start their season will enter the cycle of play when their various league competitions kick off next Saturday.
