Klemi Saban, an Israeli defender, grew up in Maccabi Netanya and debuted with the seniors in 1998. He then went on to play two seasons with the team from the City of Diamonds. In 2001, Saban received the opportunity to prove himself to Dror Kashtan and HaPoel Tel Aviv, whose uniform he wore for three seasons. It was only in his final season on the red team that Klemi Saban was awarded a regular slot on the squad and, at the end of that season, he left to HaPoel Petach Tikva. Upon arrival in Petach Tikva, Saban also debuted on the national team (4 September 2004 against the French team). At the end of his only season with HaPoel Petach Tikva, Klemi won the Toto Cup and then transferred to Maccabi Haifa, where he got his first taste of a championship.

Saban continued his gradual progression and his next stop was Steaua Bucharest, which he joined in 2006/07. Actually, instead of trying to making it to the Champions League with Maccabi Haifa, he did it with the Romanian team that made it to the Group stage. Saban played in these games against Real Madrid, but still ended his Romanian stint with Steaua Bucharest and its controversial owners, Gigi Becali, returning home to the team of his youth, Maccabi Netanya.

Saban played on his home team for three more seasons until he transferred to Maccabi Tel Aviv in the summer preceding the 2010/11 season. Klemi played in 21 league games and six Toto Cup games during his first season, scoring one goal in the derby game against HaPoel Tel Aviv. In addition to his debut performance in the national team in 2004, Saban appeared in blue and white another 24 times, making an official goal against Moldova in the 2010 World Cup qualifier.
