Maccabi Tel Aviv will lift the Championship Plate at the end of the final game of the season against Maccabi Peteh Tikva (Mondy, 8:55pm)

After lifting the State and Toto Cups, it is time to lift the final piece of silverware- the championship plate.

Maccabi Tel Aviv will host Maccabi Petah Tikva (Monday, 8:55pm) for the last match of the 2014/15 season. At the end of the game the team will receive its Championship Plate and will celebrate the historical treble with the supporters.

Here is tonight’s agenda:

Bloomfield’s doors will open two hours before kick off and the stadium will be colored in yellow for the festive event. In addition, there will be three sales points around the stadium where fans can purchase personalized match jerseys and a special edition T-shirt to commemorate the treble. The Israeli Football League will give away beach balls for fans to enjoy during the off-season.

Two special ceremonies will take place before the game. The first one will be a farewell ceremony for our captain, Sheran Yeini. We prepared a special clip and we recommend watching it on the video boards.

The Football League will host the next ceremony in which Eran Zahavi will receive the Player of the Season award.

The real festivities are scheduled for after the game. The players will clear the field for a short period, during which we will play your choice of the ten best goals of the season and a short clip to review the historical year. A laser and pyrotechnic show will transform Bloomfield Stadium into a party venue.

The celebrations will go on until midnight.

Remember to arrive in a festive mood, we will take care of the rest. 

The European football season is coming to an end and champions are being crowned across the continent. Last week Maccabi Tel Aviv received a special letter from Greek club Olympiacos, congratulating Maccabi Tel Aviv and owner Mitch Goldhar.

"Dear Mr. Goldhar,

I would like to sincerely congratulate you on winning the 201415 Israeli premier league. A well-deserved accomplishment, brilliantly reached, following a long and hard competition season.

I wish you and your club the very best of luck and continued success for the future.

Yours sincerely,

Evangelos M. Marinakis"

Olympiacos has won the double in Greece, winning the league and the cup, and collaborates with UNICEF, like Maccabi Tel Aviv. Maccabi also received warm words from Belarusian Club BATE Borisov regarding the championship.

“The players want to thank Pako for helping us achieving our goals”, stated Alberman. “We weren’t in an ideal situation when he arrived at the beginning of the season, but he was able to motivate us and we need to thank him. We went through a rough patch during the Champions League qualifiers because of the war. It was very hard for people to stay focused on our goals.”

Following the defeat to Beitar Jerusalem Alberman insists that the goals for this game are completely different: “As athletes we always want to win. We felt bad with the loss in Jerusalem. I don’t know anyone who enjoys losing.”

Alberman spoke about the captain’s, Sheran Yeini’s departure: “It wasn’t easy to see Sheran ending his time in Maccabi. We went through some difficult times together. I am happy he made the decision to leave now. He had a monumental part in building the new Maccabi Tel Aviv. We are proud of his achievements and we’ll cross our fingers for him to succeed. People don’t know how important he is for the club. There will be a massive void when he’s gone and many individuals, myself included, will have to fill it. I am not concerned with the captaincy. I am in a position as a veteran player who can help the team with or without the armband”.

On Friday, June 12 the Israel National Team will play a crucial UEFA European 2016 qualifying match in Bosnia. This morning, Coach Eli Gutman named six Maccabi Tel Aviv players to the squad including Dor Micha. The young midfielder will be making his first appearance with the full Senior side having starred in the past for the Israel National youth teams.

“This is a great day for me and my family! Being called up for National Team duty is what every child and player dreams of.  I will have to prove myself to Coach Gutman by working very hard every minute of practice to show that I belong.”

Micha has performed very well this season for Maccabi scoring five goals and collecting ten assists as he will be joined by Sheran Yeini, Eitan Tibi, Eran Zahavi, Omri Ben Harush and Tal Ben Chaim on the National Team.
