THE 2025/26 SEASON TICKETS RENEWAL PERIOD

A 0-1 victory against municipal rivals Hapoel Tel Aviv ensured Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eli Fuchs" this season's Under-16 league and State Cup double

Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eli Fuchs"'s impressive 2013/14 campaign was today crowned with the nationwide Under-16 League South championship. Head coach Erez Belfer's charges played their game in hand against Hapoel Tel Aviv at the latter's Wolfson training complex nursing a six-point lead at the top of the table with just three matches left to the season. A victory here thus meant their municipal rivals would no longer be able to challenge them for the league title.

The match got off to a very good start for the visitors when with just ten minutes on the match clock Or Dasa sent a long-range effort flying into the Hapoel net to give his side a 0-1 advantage. For the next seventy minutes Maccabi's Under-16 defence did the rest of the work and at the final whistle "Eli Fuchs" began to celebrate their now unassailable league championship. This follows close on the heels of their 3-1 victory two weeks ago over Beitar Tubruk in the coveted Under-16 State Cup final. The Under-16s have now won 25 of the 28 league matches they have played so far this season, with an astounding accumulated goal difference of 104, conceding just 19 goals along the way.

But even a league and Cup double does not mark the end of the challenges head coach Erez Belfer's lads will be facing before the summer break. Soon will begin the so-called "Champion of Champions" tournament, a competition where the top six teams in the nationwide Under-16 leagues North and South will face off to determine the nation's leading Under-16 club.

While Saturday saw Maccabi Tel Aviv's Under-19s trying to keep their title hopes alive against Hapoel Haifa, the rest of the club's Youth Division teams were also entering the critical run-in phase of the 2013/14 season. Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eldad", ranked second in the national Under-17 Premier league, swept aside Hapoel Rishon Lezion 6-0 at the Kiryat Shalom training ground. Raz Itzhak's hat-trick brought his season tally to 24 goals in all competitions while Dor Galili, Ro'i Tzarum and Omri Haramati all added individual efforts.

Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eli Fuchs", already sitting top of the nationwide Under-16 League South table, continued to impress with a handsome 2-5 victory away at third ranked Maccabi Petach Tikva. Striker Omer Lakou raised his exceptional season tally to 38 goals in all competitions with a hat-trick, Lenny Aharon added a brace. With three matches left till the end of the season, head coach Erez Belfer's Under-16s maintain their six-point advantage over second-placed municipal rivals Hapoel Tel Aviv.

Maccabi's Under-15 Team 2 started out brightly in an away tie at Bnei Sakhnin, but despite a promising two-goal advantage in the first half courtesy of Netanel Peretz and Peleg Moshe, the hosts turned the match around in the second period to emerge 3-2 victors. The club's Under-14 Team South booked a handsome 0-3 away victory at Hapoel Kiryat Ono thanks to a brace by Gal Porat and an individual effort by Roy Harush. Team North won 1-0 at home against Maccabi Petach Tikva, with Tamir Glazer scoring the only goal of the match.

Following wins for U13 South and the U16s, MTA's U15 Team 2 rounded off a red letter day for the Youth Division

Today (Tuesday), three teams of the Maccabi Tel Aviv Youth Division competed in State Cup finals and all three won. After the Under-13s Team South became the Division's third team to lift the trophy, the Under-16s followed suit leaving the Under-15 Team 2 to complete Maccabi Tel Aviv's sweep of their State Cup final matches. Currently lying third in the nationwide Under-15 League Sharon District, head coach Haim Siton's charges, like the Under-13s before them, faced northern rivals Maccabi Haifa after recording victories in the quarter finals over the club's second Under-15 team, Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eldad", and sweeping aside Maccabi Netanya in the semis.

The start of the match, held at the national stadium in Ramat Gan, started out less than auspiciously for MTA's Under-15s, as Maccabi Haifa succeeded in taking the lead just after the half hour mark. But by the time the half-time whistle sounded the team's top goal scorer, Desalin Balacho, had already equalised with his 30^th goal of the season in all competitions. After the restart "Eldad" headed out to complete the turnaround, and seven minutes after the hour mark they succeeded in the form of a splendid long-range effort by Prince Thomas. "Eldad" keeper Yaniv Goldshtein preserved the 2-1 advantage with an impressive save before Yaniv Goldstein headed in off the woodwork to secure his side's 3-1 victory and send his teammates off to celebrate the lifting of the prestigious State Cup trophy.

This was the Maccabi Youth Division's third State Cup triumph in one day, and their fifth in five attempts so far. The Division's last remaining State Cup final will be held on May 13^th when the club's Under-17s, Maccabi Tel Aviv "Oded", also meet their northern namesakes Maccabi Haifa.

Two extra-time goals secure MTA's U16s a 3-1 win over Beitar Tubruk and the U16 State Cup trophy

This afternoon the national stadium in Ramat Gan was the venue for two youth State Cup finals, the first of which saw Maccabi Tel Aviv's Under-16s face Beitar Tubruk. Already proudly leading the nationwide Under-16 League South by six points with four matches left, head coach Erez Belfer's squad were keen to include this prestigious trophy as further evidence of an exceptionally successful season. Their road in State Cup qualification has been almost effortless, conceding just one goal in matches against opponents that included both the Hapoel and Maccabi teams of Haifa and, in the semi-finals held earlier this month, Hapoel Beer Sheva.

Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eli Fuchs" opened the match in attacking mode, and the pressure bore fruit with just over ten minutes gone as star striker Omer Lakou scored his 35^th goal of the season in all competitions. Keeper Omer Katz guarded that one goal advantage with a number of excellent saves but just after the hour mark his luck ran out and Tubruk equalised. After an additional twenty minutes during which neither side succeeded in producing a winner, the contest entered two ten minute periods of time added on. "Fuchs" exploited the opportunity to go back into attack and put pressure on the Tubruk goal and at the beginning of the second period that pressure paid off as Omer Lakou scored his second goal of the afternoon, putting his side ahead once more. And as the match entered its final moments, fellow striker Ittamar Shaviro put the contest to bed by adding a third to crown Maccabi's 3-1 victory and mark the start of celebrations for a well-earned State Cup trophy.

Maccabi Tel Aviv's Under-16s continue to impress, the Under-17s drew at home to Hapoel Ramat Gan

In an exciting match full of turnarounds, Maccabi Tel Aviv's Under-17s left the pitch somewhat disappointed after drawing 3-3 against Hapoel Ramat Gan. Head coach Eliezer Ben Aharon's lads, who maintain their grip on second place in the national Under-17 Premier League table, went ahead courtesy of a goal by Ben Shugal just past the twenty minute mark. The striker's seventh goal since joining the squad kept Maccabi Tel Aviv "Oded" in the lead until three minutes before the break, when Ramat Gan found an equaliser. A tumultuous second half saw Raz Yitzhak restore "Oded"'s advantage before the visitors scored twice to take the lead for the first time in the match. But it was "Oded"'s Gabi Kanichowsky who had the last word just before the three-quarter hour mark and his fourth goal in Maccabi kit ended the scoring with the sides drawn 3-3. The result increased league leaders Maccabi Haifa's lead at the top of the Under-17 table to five points with six matches left to play this season.

The club's Under-16s, Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eli Fuchs", continued their run of good form with a convincing 5-1 victory over municipal neighbours Bnei Yehuda. Strikers Omer Lakou and Eylon Almog scored a brace each and fellow striker Abed Alsalam Salame added the fifth, while keeper Omer Katz contributed to the rout by saving a penalty that would have seen Bnei Yehuda draw level at 2-2.

Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eldad", the club's Under-15 Team 1, hosted Maccabi Haifa at the Kiryat Shalom training ground for a match that ended in a goalless draw. Head coach Haim Siton's Team 2, who will appear in the prestigious State Cup final in the middle of next week, suffered only their third league defeat in twenty-five matches, yielding to Maccabi Petach Tikva 2-3. Desalin Balacho and Prince Thomas both scored for the home side.

Maccabi's Under-14 Team South beat Hapoel Ramat Hasharon 0-1 away courtesy of a Leon Gardashov goal to stay top of the nationwide Under-14 League Central District table. Head coach Arik Levi's Team North drew 1-1 against Maccabi Haifa at Kiryat Shalom courtesy of an equalising second half goal by Eyal Chen.

Last but most certainly not least, Maccabi Tel Aviv's Under-13 Team South registered the Youth Division's highest tally of the week-end by engulfing Hapoel Rishon Lezion West by the eye-opening margin of 10 goals to nil.

In addition to two State Cup semi-final triumphs on Saturday, the MTA Youth Division saw their teams have another successful week in league competition

In addition to two State Cup semi-final triumphs on Saturday, Maccabi Tel Aviv "Oded" successfully defended their position in the neck-on-neck race at the top of the national Under-17 Premier League table yesterday by taking all three points in an important and emphatic 0-3 away victory at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona, with Ben Shugal, Yonatan Feldman and Tomer Altman contributing the goals. In doing so, head coach Eliezer Ben Aharon's team held on to second place in their league, just three points behind leaders Maccabi Haifa with seven matches remaining till the end of the season.

Maccabi's Under-14 Team North played at home at the Kiryat Shalom training ground and sailed past Hapoel Ra'anana 6-0. Eyal Chen topped up his total to 24 league goals this season by scoring four on the day, while Arad Bar added a brace. For the time being head coach Arik Levi's charges take hold of the top spot in the nationwide Under-14 League Sharon District and will await the outcome of a game in hand held by their top-of-table rivals Maccabi Haifa. Team South are also currently top of their Central District table and after a 1-4 away win at Section Nes Tziona, their place at the summit stays intact. Tal Da'on scored a hat-trick and Adir Hardon added an individual goal to secure the win for head coach Eyal Tzahi's Under-14s.

A third Maccabi Tel Aviv Youth Division team boasting supremacy in their league are the Under-13 Team South. They too defended their position on Saturday with a 1-2 away win at Maccabi Emek Hefer.

Dramatic and crucial victories for the Under-17s, Under-16s and the Under-15 Team 2

Much like in the national Under-19 Premier League, the top of the Under-17 table hosts two Maccabi teams, Tel Aviv and Haifa. Maccabi Tel Aviv "Oded" are currently second and yesterday they maintained the gap between themselves and their northern namesakes at three points with a dramatic 2-3 away victory at Hapoel Beer Sheva. The hosts took their first lead after a quarter of an hour but Maccabi's Raz Itzhak equalised fifteen minutes later. Ten minutes from time Beer Sheva went ahead for the second time in the match but "Oded" weren't ready to quit just yet. Ben Shugal found a second equaliser two minutes from time and Gabi Kanichowsky's strike in injury time not only gave Maccabi's Under-17s all three points but also maintained their draw-free record this season.

The club's Under-16s, Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eli Fuchs", held on to the top spot in the Nationwide Under-16 League South with a 2-1 triumph over Beitar Jerusalem at the Kiryat Shalom training ground. Beitar took a one-goal lead into the break, but in the second half Maccabi's Roy Ronen and, in the final moments, Nadav Amran turned the match around to hand their side three vital points. Head coach Erez Belfer's charges continue to lead municipal rivals Hapoel Tel Aviv by a margin of six at the top with five games left to play in the season.

Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eldad", the club's Under-15 Team 1, faced Central District league leaders Ashdod FC on Saturday and the tie finished in a goalless draw. Team 2 meanwhile were involved in an intriguing contest at fellow Sharon District pacesetters Maccabi Netanya and walked away triumphant after Prince Thomas scored the match's only goal twenty minutes from time. The win means that head coach Haim Siton's lads change places with their hosts and climb into the second position in the table, trailing leaders Maccabi Petach Tikva by just seven points with a game in hand.

Maccabi's Under-14 Team South maintained their current good form by recording their fourth consecutive win and their eleventh in twelve games. Head coach Eyal Tzahi's crew beat Hapoel Ramat Gan away 0-3 courtesy of a brace by Amit Mordehaev and an individual effort by Gal Porat. Team North were also on the road and won handsomely 1-6 at Nesher FC thanks to braces by Yam Ben Yehuda and Arad Bar, with Tomer Tzitrin and Gal Sofer  adding on.

The Under-13 derby between Maccabi's Team South and municipal rivals Hapoel Tel Aviv ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving both sides leading the Under-13 Central District table with the same number of points. Their Team North counterparts registered Saturday's final Maccabi Tel Aviv Youth Division win by sailing past Hapoel Hadera 4-0 at Kiryat Shalom.

After drawing level in both regulation and extra time, Maccabi Tel Aviv "Oded" won a penalty shoot-out with Bnei Yehuda to reach the prestigious Under-17 State Cup finals

Maccabi Tel Aviv's Under-17s today (Wednesday) secured their place in the prestigious State Cup finals after a dramatic win against Bnei Yehuda at the National Stadium in Ramat Gan. Head coach Eliezer Ben Aharon's squad earned that victory the hard way, coming from behind to equalise twice, once 1-1 in the regulation 80 minutes and a second time 2-2 after twenty minutes of time added on, and subsequently winning the resultant penalty shoot-out 4-3.

The match started with Maccabi's municipal neighbours Bnei Yehuda in the ascendancy, scoring after only seven minutes. Despite the efforts by Itay Aloni and Ben Shugal to get "Oded" back into the match, the halftime whistle went with Maccabi's Under-17s still trailing 0-1. After the restart, Maccabi Tel Aviv "Oded" redoubled their efforts and in the opening moments it was once again Itay Aloni with a strong curling shot that this time found its target to bring the tie level at 1-1. Ten minutes into the second half Maccabi had two back-to-back golden opportunities to complete the turnaround, but neither Tomer Altman nor Omri Haramati succeeded in converting the excellent chances presented to them. In the dying moments of regulation time it fell to Dor Galili to settle the tie in Maccabi's favour, but his close range effort sailed over the net sending the match into twenty minutes of extra time.

"Oded" dominated the first ten minutes but at the start of the second period it was Bnei Yehuda's Yoav Nimni who put his side ahead 1-2 with a powerful strike that found the net, leaving Maccabi less than ten minutes to avoid exiting the competition altogether. But much like in their league tie played earlier in the season, where Bnei Yehuda also lead 1-2 until a Maccabi equaliser in the final moments, yesterday too "Oded" rose to the challenge, specifically Raz Itzhak, who rose to a high ball to release a powerful header that sent the tie into a penalty shoot-out. For Maccabi Itay Aloni, Raz Itzhak and Omri Haramati all found the target with their penalties, with only Rany Hamzey missing his. "Oded" keeper Haviv Ohayon for his part saved one of Bnei Yehuda's penalties and saw a second effort sail over his crossbar before stepping up himself to settle the score at 4-3, sparking off a wave of celebrations among his Under-17 teammates.

"Oded"'s rivals in the State Cup final, to be played at the end of this month, will be Maccabi Haifa, who won their semi-final encounter with Hapoel Beer Sheva.

Important wins for Maccabi's Under-17s and 16s. A dramatic draw for the Under-15 Team 2

Matchweek 20 in the national Under-17 Premier League brought together two teams at either end of the table, second ranked Maccabi Tel Aviv "Oded" and bottom placed Hapoel Kfar Saba. The result reflected the two teams' respective status as "Oded" rolled over their weaker opponents 9-0. Raz Itzhak scored a hat-trick, Ben Shugal netted a brace and Dor Galili, Gabi Kanichowsky, Omri Haramati and Itay Aloni all added individual efforts for Maccabi's Under-17s. The win helped head coach Eliezer Ben Aharon's lads maintain their distance from league leaders Maccabi Haifa at three points.

Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eli Fuchs" held on to their place atop the Under-16 Nationwide League South with a hard fought 1-2 victory over Hapoel Jerusalem at their Kiryat Yovel playing ground. Itamar Shviro put Maccabi out in front and after the equaliser Roy Ronen scored the winning goal seven minutes from time. With six matches left to play this season, head coach Erez Belfer's charges still hold on to a six point advantage over second-placed municipal rivals Hapoel Tel Aviv.

The club's Under-15 Team 1, Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eldad", played an intriguing derby on Saturday at the home ground of big city opponents Hapoel Tel Aviv, and their 1-2 victory means head coach Shlomi Mitelka's squad climb to the third spot in the nationwide Under -15 League Central District. Team 2 headed north on Saturday to face fellow league pacesetters Maccabi Haifa at their "Ketsef" training complex and returned with a point after a dramatic 3-3 draw.  Prince Thomas' brace and an individual goal by Desalin Balacho had handed head coach Haim Siton's visiting side a commanding lead, but Maccabi Haifa made an impressive recovery and managed to go level in the dying moments, dividing the points between the two clubs.

Maccabi's Under-14 Team North suffered only their second defeat this season, and their first at home, after losing 0-1 to Hapoel Petach Tikva at Kiryat Shalom training ground. Team South on the other hand registered a handsome 0-2 away victory against Hapoel Jerusalem in a match played on Friday afternoon. The club's Under-13 Team South stayed top of the nationwide Under-12 League Central District with a resounding 9-0 home victory over Hapoel Ramat Gan. Team North shared the points away with Hapoel Hod Hasharon after the teams played out a 1-1 draw.
