The young goalkeeper secures his future at Hapoel: “A significant and exciting step for me, but for me this is just the beginning”
Dor Binyamini has signed a new four-year contract with the club and will wear the goalkeeper’s jersey at least until the end of the 2028/29 season.
Binyamini (20) joined the club ahead of the 2023/24 season after three years in Maccabi Petah Tikva’s youth academy, and in that same season led our youth team.
This past season, he was part of the senior squad and made his first-team debut on the final matchday of the season, keeping a clean sheet in a win over Hapoel Kfar Saba.
Dor is a member of Israel’s Olympic national team and made his debut in a friendly against Bulgaria this past June. He has also made appearances for the U18 and U19 national teams.
After signing, Binyamini said: “I’m the happiest person in the world to sign a long-term deal with this great club, which is also my home. It’s a significant step for me, and I’m sure this is just the beginning. I’m grateful to the club for the trust — now it’s my time to repay it on the pitch, keep working hard, improve every day, and give everything for the badge. Yalla Hapoel!”
Good luck, Dor!

The kit for 2025/26 were launched in collaboration with members of Kibbutz Re'im - who have recently returned to their home
Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv Football Club is proud to unveil tonight (Monday) the team’s official kits for the 2025/26 season - launched in collaboration with the members of Kibbutz Re'im, who recently returned to their homes.
This year, we chose to present the 2025/26 season kits together with the members of Kibbutz Re’im, who have only recently returned after nearly two years - since that cursed day, October 7th, 2023. Their choice to come back, rebuild the kibbutz, and resume their lives there is a true source of inspiration.
These kits don’t just represent a new season - they symbolize a return home, to our natural place.
Upon arriving at the kibbutz, we met several of its members who took part in the launch:
Imri Bonim, a father of three who also served in the kibbutz’s emergency response team as a reservist over the past two years.
Agnes Gabay, a kindergarten teacher at the kibbutz, currently working hard to reopen its daycare.
Gavin Dashward, the kibbutz’s poultry farmer, responsible for 15,000 chickens.
Shabtai Gabay, a devoted fan of the club, who tragically lost his son Yuval z”l at the start of the war.
To the residents of Kibbutz Re’im and to all the people of the Gaza Envelope — these kits are a tribute and a salute to all of you. Our hearts are back where they belong.
And may the red shirt be soaked in sweat.
Yalla Hapoel ❤️

Orit, representative of the Yablonka family: "Our Hanan came to Nova to do what he always loved – to celebrate life. Hanan will forever be remembered in all of our hearts – for the goodness in him, the joy he brought, and the person he was. The pain is immense, the longing only grows – but tonight’s game is proof that life is stronger than everything, and that nothing can extinguish the spirit. Our beloved Hanan, we know you're here with us – on the field and in our hearts – spreading light and joy as you always did. We wish both teams success. May your memory be a blessing".
Sarit, representative of the Samrano family: "I want to thank Hapoel Tel Aviv, the Nova Tribe Association, and Pini Balili from the bottom of my heart. This is one of those rare games where I’m sure both sides will support each other, show unity and love – that’s the spirit of the people of Israel. Our Yonati, you are our heart, our life – and we will never forget you. Thank you all so much."
Ortal Botbika, Hapoel Tel Aviv’s Community Relations Manager: "We stand here today to honor two of Hapoel Tel Aviv’s fans – Hanan Yablonka and Yonatan Samrano, who were brutally murdered at the Nova festival on October 7. Hanan and Yonatan were not just fans – they were an inseparable part of the red family. They lived and breathed the club, followed it every season, and stood in every stadium. Their passion, love, and spirit continue to accompany us today. The match taking place this evening, between Nova survivors and Hapoel legends, is much more than just a game. It is a moment of unity, of embrace, of a clear message: we will never forget you. On behalf of the Hapoel Tel Aviv community, we send love and support to the families, friends, and all the Nova survivors. Hanan, Yonatan – always with us, in the stands, on the field, and in our hearts".
Pini Balili, Sports Relations and Partnerships Manager at the Nova Tribe Association: "There is nothing more emotional than representing Hapoel Tel Aviv and the Nova Tribe Association. Today’s match is in memory of two dear fans, with families I love and am deeply connected to. I’m sorry the match is held under such circumstances, but that’s life – we must move forward, pray for the safe return of the hostages and of our soldiers. Enjoy the match, and most importantly – bring everyone home".
