THE 2025/26 SEASON TICKETS RENEWAL PERIOD

Owing to the stormy weather anticipated for the weekend, only the U19s and 17s will be playing on Saturday

Due to the particularly nasty weather anticipated in most of Israel for the coming weekend, the Israeli Football Association have announced that all matches in the country's youth leagues will be postponed, with the exception of the Under-19s and 17s. If weather conditions prohibit any of those matches as well, formal announcements will be made at the time. Maccabi's Under-19s are scheduled to host Hapoel Tel Aviv for a derby to be broadcast on Israeli sports channel 55 at noon on Saturday. On instructions from the police, the match has been moved for security reasons from Kiryat Shalom training ground to the Municipal Stadium in Ramle. At 11am, Maccabi's Under-17s will appear at the Kiryat Haim training ground to face Hapoel Haifa on matchday 20 of the national U17 Premier League.

Chairman of the Football Association, Retem Kemer, released the following statement: "In regard to all the weather predictions, and after consultation with all of the relevant bodies, it would appear that the stormy weather obliges us to postpone the matches in question. There is so much concern for the health of the players, for the pitch conditions and for the difficulties spectators will encounter in getting to the matches that we see no other option. Many of the teams have expressed similar sentiments and we wish to avoid causing them any further hardship in terms of security as well as avoiding disappointment to the fans or harm to any of our players".

Maccabi's U17s pass Maccabi Haifa into the top spot in the table after beating Hapoel Haifa

A second consecutive stormy winter weekend once again left its mark on Israel's youth fixtures, with only the Under-19s and Under-17s seeing their matches given the go ahead. For Maccabi's Under-17s that meant a trip up the coast to the Kiryat Haim training complex to face Hapoel Haifa in matchday 20 of the national U17 Premier League, where Maccabi Tel Aviv "Oded" were just a point behind league leaders Maccabi Haifa. "Oded" went into the match on a run of five consecutive victories, and with the number five apparently still on their minds coaches Eliezer Ben Aharon and Gadi Brumer's lads conjured up an additional five goals in a convincing 0-5 victory that extends that run to six.

The impressive scoreline belies a somewhat laboured opening by the visitors as they struggled until the closing minutes of the first half to find the net. But by the time the whistle blew, "Oded" had already jumped to a 0-2 lead, courtesy of Lenny Aharon, his second of the campaign, and Almog Eylon, who has already scored 14 goals this season, some of them with the Under-16s. After the restart "Oded" was even more prolific. Substitute Ittimar Shaviro scored two goals in five second-half minutes just after the hour mark and captain Tomer Altman put the icing on the 0-5 victory two minutes from time. And while "Oded" were winning, league rivals Maccabi Haifa were drawing their Saturday fixture, enabling  Maccabi's Under-17s to regain the top spot in the national U17 Premier League table.

Both of Maccabi's U15 teams reached their State Cup semi-finals on a Saturday when once again the winter weather starred

On Saturday Maccabi Tel Aviv's Under-19s reached the last sixteen of their State Cup competition with a convincing 5-0 win against Hapoel Haifa. The club's Under-17s, Maccabi Tel Aviv "Oded", were also due to fight for their place in the State Cup quarter finals, but their away encounter at Hakoach Amidar Ramat Gan was postponed till next Saturday, due to last weekend's stormy winter weather. Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eli Fuch's", the club's Under-16s, were luckier in their league outing at the Kiryat Shalom training ground against Maccabi Haifa/Nahalal. Head coach Shlomi Mitelka's lads scored eight times to only one reply, and their 8-1 victory keeps them in the top slot of the nationwide U16 League Southern District table. Desalin Balacho scored a hat-trick, Ofek Balas, Almog Eylon, Guy Dahan, Neil Goldberg and Yarin Sharabi all added individual efforts.

The first Youth Division team to reach the semi-finals of their State Cup competition were Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eldad", the club's Under-15 Team 1. Head coach Eyal Tzachi's squad travelled to Hapoel Ra'anana and won the tie quarter-final tie 0-3 courtesy of second-half goals by Rotem Ziv, Gal Porat and Idan Zioni. Under-15 Team 2 were quick to follow their Team 1 counterparts into the semi-finals, but did so in considerably more dramatic fashion. Their away tie at Maccabi Haifa ended 2-2 after 80 regulation minutes, with Yam Ben Yehuda's brace responsible for Maccabi Tel Aviv's contribution. Six minutes into extra time Shachar Eylon scored Maccabi Tel Aviv's third and their 3-2 triumph sends head coach Erez Belfer's crew into the next round. The two Maccabi Tel Aviv teams will now face Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Petach Tikva in the semi-finals.

Two more Maccabi Youth Division teams saw the wintry weather postpone their last sixteen Cup ties for another day – the Under-14 Team South and Under-13 Team North. The club's Under-13 Team South though braved both the stormy weather and their counterparts at Nesher FC to reach their State Cup quarter finals with a 1-2 victory. Only one Maccabi team, the Under-14 Team North, were unsuccessful in their attempt to extend their State Cup campaign. They lost by the narrowest of margins, 0-1, at Tzi'ire Taibe.

This Saturday, Maccabi's Youth Division teams will take time off from league duties for State Cup encounters

Just a week after dismissing them with impunity by a score of 0-7 in the national U19 Premier League, Maccabi Tel Aviv "Shachar" be looking to extend an up to now successful campaign in the State Cup when they once again face Hapoel Haifa in the last sixteen, this time at the Kiryat Shalom training ground on Saturday at 11.30am. Maccabi Tel Aviv "Oded", the club's Under-17s, have also displayed fine form of late with five consecutive league victories and will also be looking to advance to the State Cup quarter finals when they travel on Saturday to the "Safari" field to face Hakoach Amidar Ramat Gan at 10.30am. Head coach Shlomi Mitelka's Under-16s on the other hand saw Cup action last week when they advanced to the last sixteen at the expense of Beitar Jerusalem. The nationwide U16 Southern District league leaders will return to league duties this Saturday when they host Maccabi Haifa/Nahalal for an intriguing tie on Kiryat Shalom's artificial pitch at 11am.

Both of Maccabi Tel Aviv's Under-15 teams have already won their State Cup quarter-final contests. Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eldad", the club's Under-15 Team 1, will travel to Hapoel Ra'anana's South Park Field for an 8.50am kick-off with a view to making it to the semi-finals while Team 2 will have the same objective in mind when they face off against close league rivals Maccabi Haifa at 11am at Haifa's "Ketzef" training ground.

Maccabi's Under-14 Team South will be heading north on Saturday for an 11am kick-off against Hapoel Yokna'am for a shot at reaching their State Cup quarter finals. The club's Under-14 Team North will wait until the afternoon, 3.15pm to be exact, for their attempt to reach the same quarter finals at Tzi'ire Taibe. The club's Under-13s will also be competing in the last sixteen on Saturday, Team North close to home at Maccabi Herzliya at 8.30am, Team South somewhat further afield at Nesher FC at 11am.

Another perfect weekend for Maccabi's Youth Division as the U17s won a derby and the U16s advanced to the next round in the State Cup

After the Under-19s' magnificent 0-7 triumph at Hapoel Haifa on Saturday, the rest of Maccabi Tel Aviv's Youth Division followed suit with wins from top to bottom. First up the Under-17s, who took on the challenge of a tricky Tel Aviv derby and emerged narrow 1-0 winners at home against Hapoel Tel Aviv on a lone second-half goal by Ran Vaturi. In so doing Maccabi Tel Aviv "Oded" kept up the pressure on national U17 Premier League leaders Maccabi Haifa, who lead them by a solitary point at the top of the table.

Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eli Fuchs" were the Division's only team to play a Cup tie at the weekend, facing tough opposition away at Beitar Jerusalem for a place in the last sixteen of the U16 State Cup. Until the final moments of the match it looked like head coach Shlomi Mitelka's side were headed for a 1-0 defeat, but in the final stage of the match goals by Eden Agami six minutes from time and Eden Kartsev at the final whistle ensured that Maccabi's Under-16s reached the next round of the competition.

Meanwhile back in the league, Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eldad", the club's Under-15 Team 1, registered their fourth consecutive victory with a 3-0 home win against Hapoel Rishon Lezion that keeps them five points clear at the top of the nationwide U15 Central District table. In the U15 Sharon District League, Maccabi's Under-15 Team 2 won the third of their last four outings with a convincing 0-5 result at Hapoel Hadera. Gil Rahimi netted a brace, Amit Glezer, Yam Ben Yehuda and Eyal Chen scored the other three. Maccabi's Under-14 Team North also faced opposition from counterparts from Hapoel Hadera, in their case at home, and also emerged with a clean sheet, scoring four goals to no reply. Oz Bilui, Raveh Asayag Yehonatan Izen and Idan Rozenfeld were head coach Nisim Dvash's goalscorers as they dispatched Hapoel Hadera 4-0. But head coach Ori David's Under-14 team South hit the jackpot with their fifth consecutive win and the top goals total of the weekend, a 1-9 rout of municipal neighbours Bnei Yehuda in the "little" derby of Tel Aviv.

On Friday the first "little" Tel Aviv derby was played out between the Under-13s of Bnei Yehuda and Maccabi's Under-13 Team North, and the result was nearly as impressive, with Maccabi emerging 0-5 winners. But certainly not to be outdone, Maccabi's Under-13 Team South hosted Ashdod FC on Saturday at the Kiryat Shalom training ground and nearly took the top goalscoring honours themselves. In the end they fell one short but kept a clean sheet in their 8-0 triumph over their southern rivals.

Maccabi Tel Aviv "Oded" maintained the status quo at the top of the national U17 Premier League table after beating Bnei Yehuda 2-0 at the Kiryat Shalom training ground, with midfielder Tomer Altman and defender Ron Gabay supplying the goals. For Altman this was his fifth goal of the season, for Gabay his second, and in two successive matches!

But two dramatic late goals by the visitors meant the points were shared, a disappointing end for the home side despite a result that sees them climb two places in the table.

Another close encounter was played out between Ori David's Under-14 Team South and rivals Beitar Jerusalem at Kiryat Shalom. The visitors drew first blood but a Tal Yagudaev brace turned the tie around, which ended 2-1 in Maccabi's favour.
