Maccabi Netanya F.C. (Template:Lang-he, Moadon Kaduregel Maccabi Netanya) is an Israeli football club, playing in the city of Netanya.
The team, which plays in Israel's Ligat ha'Al, is one of the most glorified clubs in Israel, with a rich history, particularly in the 1970's and 1980's.
History
The club was established in the year 1934 in the Israeli city of Netanya. Maccabi Netanya has a history of 48 seasons in the Israeli Premier League, since the establishment of Israel.
Maccabi Netanya started playing in uniforms of green and white stripes. In 1975 the team started playing in uniforms with the colours black and yellow.
During Netanya's bright days, in the 1970's and the beginning of the 1980's, the league was nicknamed "Netanya and another 15", showing the supremacy of the club. In those days, most of the players on the Israeli national football team were from Maccabi Netanya.
In 1978 the team won The Treble: the National Cup, the Israeli Championship, and were the head of the house in the Intertoto home stage.
But in the mid-1990s the team started to lose its prestige and moved from the first to the second league for a number of years.
During the 2003/04 season, the team again moved down to the second league, but the following year Maccabi Netanya returned to the first league, where it remains.
In 2006, Maccabi Netanya was bought by Daniel Jammer, a Jewish-German businessman. After buying the team, Jammer brought many new players to the team, both Israelis and foreigners.
In April 2008, they unveiled former Germany player and football legend Lothar Matthaus as their manager for the 08/09 season.
Rivalry
There is a strong rivalry between Netanya and Beitar Nes Tubruk Netanya. Originally, there were hopes of the two clubs uniting so as not to split allegiances of kids in the city. The merger never came to fruition and since, the two clubs have been at each others throats both claiming that the other has forced a child not to switch clubs, which is illegal in Israel. Netanya has invested heavily in its youth system as of late and results have been seen on the field. When two Tubruk players came to shake hands with Netanya players after a derby match in Liga Leumit l'Noar, they were subsequently left out of the team for the club's next league match.
Things have gotten so bad that the war of words has extended into the court room as the clubs battle over the rights to many youth talents who are under the age of fifteen and would like to switch clubs[1].
