It is a great pity that so many millions of people have recently been displaced from their homes as a result of violent extremists in war torn areas in various parts of the world.

As a member of the European Club Association and our standing as a member of the European soccer community we will join all of the other clubs involved in European competition by participating in the initiative “90 minutes for hope”.

It is consistent with the club’s social responsibility programme which covers both local and national issues in Israel and the priorities of our international sponsor UNICEF with whom we are a proud partner.
