Maccabi Tel Aviv and FILA are proud to present for the first time in the club’s history a fourth kit that would follow us during the 2021/22 season. Maccabi and Italian giant fashion house FILA continue raising the bar to bring a surprising out of the box design.

Similar to the trend of other major clubs across the world, Maccabi also chose to launch a fourth kit that has a particularly daring design. The idea behind the kit is to bring you a fresh, modern less conventional design which draws its’ inspiration from the fashion world.

The current edition features a combination of amorphous shapes in navy-blue on top of a white background that create a movement resembling a wave. The shirt also features various elements of Yellow with the club logo appearing exclusively on this kit in reverse colors highlighting the Yellow. A navy blue polo-neck completes the unique look – all in the uncompromising standard and advanced technology.

In the new kit you will find the following features:

• A highly innovative FILA Mesh performance material that wicks away the sweat and helps cool the body.
• A golden FILA badge signifying the originality of the 2021/22 kit.
• As of Sunday, the new kit is already waiting for you at the official online store and our official store at Bloomfield stadium.

The 26-year-old midfielder who joined Maccabi in the summer from Standard Liege, said: “I think that if we do what we need to do, everything will be ok. We needed the 3 points against Haifa, it gave us a boost which we must take and use it for our future matches”.

Shamir, who spent six months at Be’ersheva before moving to Belgium, added: “I knew that competition here (at Maccabi) is tough, all of my teammates who are competing with me for a place are quality players, so I must be at my best on a daily basis. I was prepared for that as this is something which typifies a big club”.

Goals from Eyal Golasa, Osama Khalaila, Ronen Hanzis and Eylon Almog (2) earned Maccabi a 5-1 victory in a practice match over the Youth team (U-19’s) with Omer Fruchtman scoring a consolation goal. The match which took place at the PenguinPickUp training complex at Kiryat Shalom saw both coaches allow players who didn’t play the full 90 minutes in Saturday’s respective league wins over Maccabi Haifa (2-1) and Maccabi Netanya (2-1).

Watch the pictures:

Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Maccabi Haifa was our 70^th league win over the Haifaites as only against Maccabi Netanya we have more victories -71. Haifa on the other hand won 48 matches in the Israeli Classico.

This was not the only statistic recorded during the match. The victory over Haifa stretched Maccabi’s league run against the Haifaites to a solitary defeat in the last 33 encounters. The record in these matches currently stands on 21 Maccabi victories and 11 draws.

Throughout history similar runs in the league occurred only twice as Bnei Sachnin’s 3-1 victory on the opening day of the season was their only win against Maccabi in 34 league matches between 2008-2021. Maccabi Haifa lost only one match to Hapoel Petah Tikva between 1991 and 2003.

Bloomfield stadium also holds an irregular record of results in league matches between the two sides. Since the era of the foreign coaches began at Maccabi in the 2012/13 season, Maccabi hosted  Haifa at Bloomfield for 13 league encounters of which 11 ended in victories and 2 were drawn.

Idan Nachmias and Stipe Perica scored the goals on Saturday to take the number of players to score for Maccabi against Haifa in the league to a 100.

The 26-year-old Croatian striker scored a goal in each one of the last three matches played last week (Maccabi Petah Tikva, Alashkert and Maccabi Haifa).

Perica is the 21^st Maccabi player in history and the first since Eran Zahavi to do so in 2015. Zahavi scored in the 2-2 Champions League Playoff match against Basel (2-2), against Bnei Sachnin in the league completed a memorable week with a goal against Basel in the return leg at Bloomfield which secured Maccabi’s passage to the Group stages.

Sheran Yeini registered an amazing assist to Perica’s winning goal against Haifa. But this wasn’t the only achievement of the veteran skipper on the night as Yeini made his 493^rd appearance for Maccabi in all competitions to equal the record of Avi Nimni who is 4^th in the all-time appearance record. As Yeini is approaching the 500 club, he is now 13 appearances short of Benny Tabbak (505) and 25 behind Eli Drix (517) with Miko Belo as holds Maccabi’s all time appearance record with 599.

The 35-year-old skipper also made his 40^th league appearance against Maccabi Haifa – a record for any Maccabi player against a specific opponent throughout history. Yeini is 4 matches away from equaling Yaniv Katan’s record of 44 league matches for Maccabi Haifa against Hapoel Tel Aviv.
