The Maccabi Tel Aviv FC Foundation continued its bid to strengthen the residents of the South as more activities involving first team members and Youth Academy staff took place today in a bid to raise morale.

After last week Or Yitzhak visited families who were evacuated from Gaza border communities to hotels near the Dead Sea, today was the turn of Ofir Davidzada who arrived to meet the residents of Sa’ad. The 32-year-old left-back entertained the kids of Sa’ad, signed autographs and handed some gifts on behalf of the club before heading to meet kids from Be’eri kibbutz.

Elsewhere, Maccabi’s Youth Academy coaches met with residents of Kibbutz Karmia who were evacuated to Tel Aviv. The coaches guided the kids through a training session and played some mini matches that supplied a destruction from their day to day ordeal they are experiencing.
