Ironi Modi'in (Template:Lang-he) is an Israeli football club based in Modi'in-Maccabim-Re'ut. The club is currently in Liga Bet South B division.

History

The club was founded in 2009 and played their first ever match on 11 September 2009, in which they won 5-1 against fellow Liga Gimel club, Maccabi Segev Shalom, at the second round of the 2009–10 Israel State Cup.[1]

In 2011–12, their third season of existence, Modi'in won Liga Gimel Central division and were promoted to Liga Bet.[2] In that season, the club also achieved a record victory, 21-0 against Hapoel Ramla.[3]

Modi'in finished their debut season in Liga Bet at the seventh place of South B division. In the following season, they finished fourth and qualified for the promotion play-offs, where they beat Beitar Giv'at Ze'ev 1-0 in the first round. However, in the second round, they lost 0-1 to Hapoel Rahat and remained in Liga Bet.[4]

The club's best placing to date came at the 2014–15 season, when they finished runners-up, one point behind the league winners, Bnei Eilat, and qualified for the promotion play-offs, where they beat Hapoel Merhavim 1-0 and Beitar Ma'ale Adumim 2-1 after extra time, and advanced to the regional final, where they lost 3-5 on penalties to Hapoel Kiryat Ono, after a goalless draw.[5]
