Maccabi returned to Bloomfield stadium for the first time since October 7th as the club gave a little joy to several soldiers who are recovering from injuries.
The club hosted the soldiers at Bloomfield during the 2-1 victory over Maccabi Netanya and heard some of their stories. One of the soldiers, Matan Levy, of the Nahal infantry brigade was injured at kibbutz Nirim and lost his eyesight. To be able to understand what Maccabi were doing on the pitch, Levy, spent the time between sitting behind the bench with an earpiece listening to the broadcast, and sitting beside the commentary team to hear the entire play-by-play description. 
Yonatan Ben Hemon of the 603rd Combat Engineering Battalion and Shalom Shitrit of Golani’s 13th battalion, both of whom lost their leg during battle in Gaza.
Natanel Takla of the Golani 13th battalion who was injured in the battles of Nahal Oz and Tal Sapir of 202nd Paratroopers Battalion who was severely injured in the battle of Kfar Aaza, were also amongst the soldiers who are hospitalized at the recovery ward of Tel Hashomer hospital.
