All you need to know for Maccabi Haifa

Cypriot champion Apollonas Limassol starts his European journey from Israel.

Our team will face Maccabi Haifa for the 3rd qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.

The Israel champion eliminated Olympiakos in the second qualifying round of the competition with aggregate score of 5-1 and qualify to the next round.

Maccabi Haifa was founded in 1913 and its colors are green and white.

It is one of the most successful football teams in Israel, winning 14 championships, six cups, four League Cups and three Super Cups.

Very important is the fact that Maccabi Hafia has won all its championships since 1983 and from there.

The coach of the team is Mr. Barak Bakhar who has been at the helm of the team’s technical leadership since July 2020. To date, in 103 matches he has 66 wins, 16 draws and 21 losses with a win rate of 64.08%.

2021-2022 achievements

Maccabi Haifa got off to a poor start last year after being knocked out of the Champions League 1st qualifying round by Kairat and continued in the Europa Conference League 2nd qualifying round where they were eliminated in the group stage against Feyenoord, Slavia Prague and Union Berlin, collecting 4 points.

After their European elimination, they went on a ten-game winning streak in the league and finished the regular season (26 games) with just three defeats.

In the title playoffs she took an early lead and finally the other three defeats of the season (in 10 matches) were not enough to deprive her of the title!

In the cup they reached the final with five wins in four rounds and were defeated in the final, while in the Toto Cup they had two wins and a win last July in the Super Cup against Maccabi Tel Aviv.

The star 

Well-known is the football player who stands out in the team of champions Israel. Omer Adjili, who was transferred from APOEL, plays mainly on the right wing of the attack and in the 2021-22 season he scored 28 goals and 14 assists in 51 appearances in all competitions.

Excellent atmosphere at Sammy Ofer Stadium

Maccabi has one of the most modern stadiums in the country, the Sammy Ofer Stadium, which was built in 2014, with a capacity of 30,780 seats. It is one of the “hottest” seats in the country in which the friends of the “greens” create an excellent atmosphere.

The first match will be held in Haifa on Wednesday (03/08, 20:00) and the second leg in GSP on Tuesday (09/08, 20:00).
