Clubs owned by Fans

Post by Maccabi_TA »

Well it's a thing that it getting more and more exposure troughout the years, and it looks like that it's not here just for a moment. Fans who got tired from Owners, Corporations, Racial Fans and etc.

Who are these c;ubs in your Country and what is their Story?

ISRAEL

Hapoel Katamon Jerusalem

Well for most prople who think Jerusalem regarding successfull sport, theres Hapoel Jerusalem Basketball team, this is their twin sister from the Football Section.
Hapoel Jerusalem, the Mother Club, is the less successfull team of Jerusalem, after Beitar. Their triomphes? 1973 Israeli Cup winners. they lost the cup final one year prior to that and reached the cup final in 1998, there they lost to Maccabi Haifa.
Hapoel is being owned by two people: Yossi Sassi and Victor Yona since the early 90's. they managed to destroy every good thing about the club until the fans, that their team relegated to the second division in 2001, decided to act. that was. officialy the first time that a football club, being owned by the fans was established here. It was in 2007. in the first years they managed to join a lower league club, in Mevaseret, a town near Jerusalem.
After two years, in 2009, the fans decided to make a frsh start, with their own Club: Hapoel Katamon Jerusalem. they started in the 5th Tier, and now yhet are in 2nd Tier, with their Mother Club, Hapoel Jerusalem. it's not the first time that they play each other, it has happend two years ago.

Beitar Nordia Jerusalem

Well' that's the story of Jerusalem, two devided clubs in a devided city. even with the Big Sister, Beitar Jerusalem is not happy. their, it's not the owner, but a racial fan group, called La Familia, who managed to take literaly control on the club, and no one is ready to put an end to it. they filled with Hate, Violence and Racism. so Bietar Fans made last year a pilot that this year will, for sure, after another dissgusting La Familia preformance in Belgium, they will get more and more supporters. they finished their first season in the 3rd place on the 5th tier and will play there next season as well.

Maccabi Kabilio Jaffa

Maccabi Jaffa was a nice club from the City of Jaffa, in the days that Tel-Aviv and Jaffa were apart altough they are a whisker from each other. their best achievement was the second place in 1962, 1964 and 1977, and also losing in the cup final of 1957. upcoming the early 90's the club was manged with iregullarity and got to financial problemes and said goodbye for the Israeli Football in 2000.
In 2008-09 Season the Maccabi Jaffa fans decided to bring back their beloved club, and add their mythological goalkeeper who past away Hertzel Kabilio on the name. The team started in the 5th Tier and for the last 5 years is stuck in the 3rd Tier after promoting twice in the first two years for the project.

Hapoel Robi Shapira Haifa

Founded in 2014, After years of frustrations from Yoav Katz, The Owner. The source of the name is based on the mythological owner, Robi Shapira RIP, whom owned the club in the 90's, took it to their greatest achievment with the 1998/99 Their sole championship, and two years later took his own life. most of Hapoel Haifa, the mother club, that plays in the Premier League, left the club (has 2,000 fans per match with a 6,000 in poential for every match in the normal status), beacuse of current owner Yoav Katz, that ruined their youth team and disconnected the club from their roots. Beacuse they are playing in a small stadium, just 650 fans are allowed to come. The team is being managemant by the fans and the board members of Hapoel Haifa who run in the late 90's. they won the Fifth Tier in their first season and qualified for the Forth Tier where they will play next season.
