The stadium in the Hungarian city of Miskolc will host our home matches during the upcoming European campaign. Here is everything you need to know.

The 2026/27 season is just around the corner, and Hapoel Tel Aviv will begin its European journey in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League. We can now confirm the venue that will serve as our home ground until our return to Israel: DVTK Stadium.

The draw for the second qualifying round will take place on June 17, while the two-legged tie is scheduled for July 23 and July 30.

DVTK Stadium is located approximately one hour and forty minutes from Hungary’s capital, Budapest, and around one hour from Debrecen. Opened in May 2018, the stadium has a capacity of 14,646 seats, all of which are fully covered. This modern venue offers supporters an excellent matchday experience and outstanding viewing conditions.

Miskolc is Hungary’s fourth-largest city, situated in the northeastern part of the country at the foothills of the picturesque Bükk Mountains. It lies approximately 180 kilometers from Budapest and is easily accessible via the M3 motorway or by direct rail connections.

Historically, Miskolc has been known as Hungary’s “Steel City.” During the 19th and 20th centuries, it became the heart of the nation’s heavy industry, centered around the district of Diósgyőr, where massive ironworks once operated.

This history is deeply intertwined with the identity of the club that will host us. In 1910, workers from the local metal and iron factories came together to establish a football club. The initials DVTK stand for Diósgyőri Vasgyári Testgyakorlók Köre, which translates literally as “The Gymnastics Association of the Diósgyőr Ironworks.”

In recent years, Miskolc has undergone a remarkable transformation. The city has reduced its reliance on heavy industry and emerged as a vibrant cultural and tourist destination. Its historic center revolves around Széchenyi Street, a beautiful pedestrian boulevard lined with cafés, restaurants serving local cuisine, and lively pubs. The city is also home to the National Theatre of Miskolc, the oldest stone-built theatre in Hungary.

DVTK Stadium is the home ground of Diósgyőri VTK, a Hungarian club founded in 1910 that also plays in red and white. Throughout its history, the club has won two domestic cup titles and has enjoyed several notable appearances in European competitions.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the club and stadium management for welcoming us into their home and making this arrangement possible. We look forward to sharing memorable and exciting moments together.

See you back home soon! 🔴⚪

The head of the youth department, Asaf Grenstein, summarizes the 25/26 season in an interview for the official website: "The fact that our teams played quality football and reached achievements teaches us about the players' level."

The club's youth department has concluded the 25/26 season - which was challenging, educational, satisfying, and full of action. With the end of the season, the head of the department, Asaf Grenstein, took the time to summarize: The past year ("Competitiveness is far from being the main thing, but it is important for player development"), the integration of academy graduates into the senior team ("A great sense of satisfaction and pride"), the youth team ("Great player material, they can be proud of themselves"), the day-to-day work with the players ("The broad staffs allow us to reach players on a personal level") and the goals ("To develop the individual and strive to promote as many players as possible to the first team"). The full interview is before you.

We are wrapping up an intensive and fascinating season in the youth department. If you had to summarize this season in a sentence or two from your perspective as the professional manager, how would you describe it?

"First, I must say that I am glad we managed to complete the season, even if not entirely in full (the senior leagues were shortened by three rounds), and that we had the privilege to engage in football and be on the pitches. This is not to be taken for granted in the complex period our country is going through, and for the children and youth in the academy, the activity is very important, especially in times like these.

Professionally, the season was very successful. The first and main thing is that the senior team continues to integrate quite a few players who grew up in the youth department. This is important for the club, makes us all happy, and provides a great sense of satisfaction and pride. In addition, it was possible to see in all our teams this year that there is a very large amount of talented players with the potential to advance in the club and reach the senior team. Also on a competitive level, the youth team was there until the very last moment in the championship race, something that hasn't happened in the department for many years, the U17 (Nearim A) and U16 (Nearim B) teams won the State Cup, and all of them finished in the upper part of the tables. While this is far from being the main thing in a youth department, competitiveness is also important for the players' development, and the fact that our teams played quality football and reached achievements also says something about the level of the players."

What was the most significant moment or game for you this season, a moment where you felt our path is working?

"I think the vast majority of our teams' games showed that the department has a very clear DNA: all teams play football that strives to control the pace of the game, press high, and apply our specific principles. When we see all the teams playing in this style, it is very meaningful for us, because this is the way we believe the players will develop best. If I have to choose a few games, and it's really not easy, then the U16 team's game in the league derby, the U17 game against Maccabi Netanya in the first round of the league, and surprisingly a game we didn't win with the youth team (U19), away against Maccabi Haifa, which was an excellent game by the team. We played great football there. These are three games where the teams played quality football for most stages of the game and we managed to create a lot of scoring chances."

The youth team had an excellent season. We were a touching distance from the championship plate, which slipped through our fingers in the end only due to goal difference. How do you summarize such a season to the players and what distinguished this team this season?

"We went through a challenging and overall positive season in the Youth Premier League. We were the team that led the table for most of the rounds this season. We felt that because of the player material and the team's wonderful staff, we could make history and win the youth championship after many years. I must say that the players were very competitive until the last moment, and as proof, from the moment we returned from the war, we won all the league games until the end. Ultimately, we didn't win the championship, which was naturally disappointing, but I think the players can be proud of themselves, of the commitment and ability they showed throughout this entire season. I think what distinguished the youth team this year is that it was very diverse. Both in the style of the players (very high-quality players with the ball alongside players with good defensive abilities and strong character) and in their personality structures, alongside a very cohesive and special dressing room."

One of the success metrics for a youth department is producing players for the senior team. This season we saw the integration of academy graduates in the first team. How do you view this transition process, how do we prepare them for it, and how is the joint work with the professional staff of the senior team?

"The transition between the youth and senior levels for football players is very important. In Israeli football, it is also often particularly challenging, since there is no intermediate league for developing young players, there is the issue of the army of course, and so on. Every player has their own path and trajectory. There are those who will manage to reach the senior team already at youth age, others at a later stage, and some will go out on loan and try to make their way back in the future. A player can develop at an earlier/later age. The fact that a player won't reach Hapoel's senior team at an early stage doesn't necessarily mean their career will be worse than a player who did manage to do so. At the end of the process, they need talent, a strong personality structure, and mental resilience over time.

The tools the players receive in Hapoel's youth department are very diverse. Every team in the older division has a head coach, an assistant coach, in some teams a second assistant coach, one/two analysts, a fitness coach, a mental coach/sports psychologist, a nutritionist, and a physiotherapy team; they receive enrichment training, gym workouts, and many other tools. In the younger division, the work is much more individual, with team training and enrichment training in small groups based mainly on personal technique, athletic, and coordinative abilities. The broad staffs allow us to reach players on a personal level.

The integration between the youth department and the senior team at Hapoel is amazing. This is my eighth year at the club, and I can say that today the connection between the departments is at its peak. Today, Hapoel has a very strong and experienced management backbone, from the CEO and the Technical Director, and of course with the team's professional staff. There is cooperation in the physical, mental, and athletic systems. In the senior team, there are professionals who came through the youth department, which is another thing that helps the collaboration."

What differentiates Hapoel Tel Aviv's youth department from other youth departments? We know there is a lot of competition for young talents, why should a player choose us and not another club?

"Every club, certainly among the big clubs, will say it is the best. As someone who teaches coaching courses at the Association and has known the world of youth departments for many years, I can say two things with certainty: the human relations at Hapoel are the best, and our youth department teaches football in the best possible way. We have human capital that exists nowhere else. This is the strength of this department. This combination of a big club, a youth department that integrates young players into the senior team, develops the players' self-confidence, and teaches them the principles of the game well - is a combination that only exists with us. That is why I think a player who chooses Hapoel, no matter where they came from, will increase their chances of developing a career at the highest levels."

This season set a high bar. What are the main goals and targets you have set for the youth department ahead of the next season?

"The ultimate goal for us will always be the same - to develop the individual and strive to promote as many players as possible to the first team. As a department, we will want to develop in all areas: fitness and physical building, analysis and technology, scouting, psychology, and education, and constantly identify new trends in the football world and gradually mediate those that fit our style, according to ages, to the department's players."

The defender will complete three and a half seasons at Hapoel Tel Aviv: "Constantly hungry to continue and achieve our big goals"

Shahar Piven has signed a new contract for two additional years and will wear the red jersey until at least the end of the 2027/28 season.

30-year-old Piven joined the club in the middle of the 2024/25 season and played a part in returning the team to the Premier League. In the current season, he recorded 32 appearances across all competitions.

Shahar said after signing: "I am happy to continue at this massive club, which welcomed me with open arms and became a warm home for me. I am grateful for the trust placed in me and am constantly hungry to continue and achieve our big goals. See you again soon."

Good luck, Shahar!

With a particularly stable season that included 14 clean sheets, 87 saves, and one dramatic penalty save, Hapoel Tel Aviv's goalkeeper claims the prestigious title. The full numbers that explain how number 22 locked the goal on the way to securing the ticket to Europe.

The 2025/2026 season has come to an end, and it is time to hand out the awards. This time, the consensus around the position between the posts was absolute: Assaf Tzur, Hapoel Tel Aviv's goalkeeper, is the Goalkeeper of the Season. Tzur (born 1998) displayed peak form this year that provided the Reds with quiet, leadership, and confidence in the backline, contributing greatly to the team's success and the achievement of the main goal - securing a place in European competitions for next season.

An in-depth look at the statistical data of number 22 proves exactly why the title belongs to him. Throughout the season, Tzur faced 146 threats on his goal frame, out of which he recorded no fewer than 87 saves. His athletic ability and impressive reflexes translated into 14 matches in which he kept a clean sheet – a fantastic figure that testifies to his extraordinary stability throughout the season. In total, Tzur conceded 30 goals this season. In addition, he recorded one penalty save out of five 11-meter penalty kicks awarded.

But perhaps the most impressive statistic, which illustrates more than anything Tzur's coolness and concentration, is the errors column: the goalkeeper closed the season with 0 errors leading to a goal.

In addition to his defensive work, Tzur proved this season that he is an integral part of Hapoel Tel Aviv's ball circulation. He was involved in building the play from the back with 955 total passes, out of which 715 were accurate passes. This ability to distribute the ball under pressure allowed the team to start quick transition attacks in an organized manner.

Following his win, Assaf said: "I am happy to win the 'Goalkeeper of the Season' award for the second consecutive year. This win, along with the awards for keeping clean sheets and making the Team of the Season, also belongs to my teammates, the professional staff, and of course to the incredible fans who supported me from the very first moment I arrived here and backed the entire team. I am very proud and grateful to everyone who voted for me among the other great goalkeepers in the league, and I can't wait for next season."

Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv finishes the 2025/2026 season tonight with a 1-1 draw result at Teddy Stadium against Beitar Jerusalem. Omri Altman scored in his 200th match in the red uniform.

Hapoel visited Teddy Stadium tonight for the final match of the 2025/2026 season, with a clear goal to finish the season with an away victory.

Between the posts, goalkeeper Dor Binyamini started for the first time this season and for the first time in his career in the Premier League.

The first half was characterized by a balanced and even game. The turning point came in the 35th minute, when the opponent's center-back received a second yellow card and was sent off from the pitch.

From that moment, Hapoel took control of the field and pressed the hosts' goal. The absolute dominance was translated into a goal in the 85th minute, thanks to a brilliant move by Mor Buskila, who was fouled inside the box and granted the team a justified penalty.

The one who stepped up to take the kick was Omri Altman, who recorded a particularly impressive milestone tonight with his 200th appearance in the Hapoel uniform. Altman was precise from the penalty spot, scored his seventh goal of the season, and put Hapoel into a 0-1 lead.

Despite the red dominance, in the final minutes the opponent managed to equalize the score to 1-1, in one of their few attacks in the match.

The game ended in a division of points, and Hapoel now turns its gaze toward preparations for next season.

Hapoel finishes the 2025/2026 season located in fourth place in the table with 60 points (not including 2 points deducted by the court) and a goal balance of 55:38 (+17).

Played for Hapoel: Dor Binyamini, Tal Archel, Fernand Mayembo {Captain}, Chico, Doron Leidner (Amit Lemkin – 66), Lucas Falcao, Andrian Kraev (Roei Alkukin – 66), Loizos Loizou (El Yam Kancepolsky – 87), Stav Toriel, Xande Silva (Mor Buskila – 75), Omri Altman (Daniel Dappa – 87).

Events

Minute 35: A second yellow card for the opponent's center-back, Bryan Carabalí, who is sent off with a red card.

Minute 48: Doron Leidner crossed a ball to Omri Altman who headed well, but Miguel Silva reacted excellently and parried it for a corner.

Minute 84: Mor Buskila was fouled in the opponent's box after a wonderful move. Penalty for Hapoel.

Minute 85: Omri Altman, in his 200th match in the Hapoel uniform, scores from the penalty spot. 0-1 Red!

Minute 90+2: The opponent equalizes out of nowhere. 1-1 at the finish.

A historic milestone for Omri Altman, who makes his 200th appearance tonight in the Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv jersey.

An emotional and history-laden evening for club player Omri Altman tonight, as he steps onto the pitch to record his 200th appearance in all official competitions for Hapoel Tel Aviv. Altman's journey in red, which began back in August 2015 when he played 86 minutes in his debut during the Tel Aviv derby in the Toto Cup, reaches an extraordinary milestone tonight, one reserved only for the club's greatest.

The Journey in Red: Career Milestones at Wolfson

Altman first signed with Hapoel Tel Aviv in the summer of 2015. In his debut season with the club, he made 27 appearances across all competitions, scoring four goals, including his maiden goals in the Toto Cup and the State Cup. In the 2016/2017 season, he continued to be a key figure, making 36 appearances and scoring 7 league goals.

In the summer of 2019, Altman returned for a second spell at Hapoel Tel Aviv, signing a two-year deal. His comeback season (2019/2020) was one of the best of his career, finishing as the team's top scorer and assist provider with 11 goals and 4 assists, while leading the Reds to the championship playoff and the State Cup semifinals.

Ahead of the 2020/2021 season, Altman received the great honor of being named captain of Hapoel Tel Aviv. That season, he led the team all the way to the State Cup final and even scored the opening goal for Hapoel in the final match, which ultimately ended in an extra-time defeat.

Following brief stints in Portugal and Cyprus, Altman returned for a third spell at the club in the summer of 2023. At the start of the current season, Altman once again donned the red jersey to lead the club through the ongoing 2025/2026 campaign on his path to this historic milestone.

The Statistical Corner: Altman's All-Time Red Numbers

Omri Altman cements his place in one of the most glorious chapters of the club's history. Below are his complete career statistics for Hapoel Tel Aviv across all official competitions, along with his placement in the history books:

Appearances: 200 Goals: 45 (including 14 penalties) Assists: 18 Yellow cards: 24 Red cards: 1

All-Time Club Rankings: 26th place in the club's all-time appearances list (200 appearances). 21st place in the club's all-time league top scorers list (39 goals). 25th place in the club's all-time league top assist providers list (15 assists). 8th place all-time in match-winning goals for the club (8 winning goals).

Season Numbers: The 2025/2026 Campaign in Depth and Unforgettable Moments

Altman's contribution in the current 2025/2026 season is evident across all official competitions, where he continues to serve as a cornerstone of the team's attack.

In league play, Altman has made 30 appearances this season (including tonight), finding the back of the net 6 times, providing 3 assists, receiving 4 yellow cards and one red card. In the State Cup, he featured in one match where he contributed an assist, and he registered 3 additional appearances in the Toto Cup. In total, the midfielder's stats for the current season stand at 34 appearances across all competitions, with 6 goals, 4 assists, 4 yellow cards, and one red card.

Beyond the raw numbers, this season will be remembered for two particularly dramatic moments credited to the midfielder that drove the Red fans wild:

A 98th-minute explosion against Beitar: In the third round of the season, with Bloomfield Stadium rocking and tense, Altman stepped up and scored a sensational match-winner deep into stoppage time (98th minute), securing three crucial points for Hapoel and triggering wild celebrations in the stands.

Immense drama in the Tel Aviv derby: Another peak moment came during the highly charged derby match. In the 91st minute, with Hapoel trailing, Altman went airborne to head home a dramatic equalizer that completely shifted the momentum, paving the way for a crazy comeback and leading to the team's unforgettable winning goal in the 94th minute.

Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv will visit Teddy Stadium tonight where it will meet Beitar Jerusalem as part of the 36th and final round of the Winner League. Ahead of the encounter, we have gathered all the statistical data, the history between the teams, and the interesting details you need to know before the opening whistle.

Hapoel's comeback season to the Premier League officially closes tonight, as the Reds will finish the current season in fourth place in the table, and after 12 years, mark a return to European cups as they will play in the Conference League qualifiers (second qualifying round) for the 2026/2027 season.

Hapoel arrives at the final round in fourth place with 59 points in its record (after the 2-point deduction by the court) and a positive goal balance of 54:37. On the other hand, the host from the capital will finish the season in second place, with 75 points and a goal balance of 77:39.

The two have already met 4 times this season – 3 times in the league and once more in the Toto Cup final. There isn't a Red fan who doesn't remember the encounter in the first round, which became one of the greatest classics of the season. Hapoel took an early lead from a penalty by Stav Toriel (26), but the Jerusalemites managed to overturn the score to 2-1 in the 78th minute. When it seemed like the match was slipping away, the 90th minute arrived: a wonderful cross from Toriel found the head of Andrian Kraev, who headed powerfully inside and established an equalizer. The drama reached its boiling point in the 98th minute, when a massive free kick by Omri Altman found the net and sealed a sweet, dramatic, and "Red" 2-3 victory.

In the second round, at Teddy Stadium, Hapoel conceded a 1-0 defeat. In the first round of the playoff, despite playing with ten men for over 70 minutes, Hapoel dominated the game without question but conceded one goal which sealed the final score, 1-0 at the finish. The teams met again to battle for the title in the Toto Cup final, where Hapoel lost 2-1, with the consolation goal by Stav Toriel scored deep inside stoppage time (90+10).

History

The long-standing rivalry between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Beitar Jerusalem is one of the most fascinating and charged in Israeli football. Since the first meeting until today, the two teams have met 132 times, and over the years, a rich story of great battles, dramatic moments, and unforgettable goals has been woven.

The Full Record: 132 matches 55 wins for Hapoel 35 draws 42 wins for Beitar Goal balance: 169:146 for Hapoel

And the record with Hapoel as the away team: 63 matches 24 wins for Hapoel 17 draws 22 wins for Beitar Goal balance: 68:69 for Beitar

The first match in the league framework between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Beitar Jerusalem was held on March 5, 1955, at the YMCA ground, as part of the fifth round. Hapoel found itself trailing twice but managed to return thanks to goals by Asher Balout in the 23rd minute and Michael Michaelov in the 83rd minute. At the finish, a 2-2 draw was recorded.

The first league match in which Hapoel hosted Beitar in that same year also ended without a decision. Asher Balout put Hapoel ahead in the 24th minute from a penalty, but the rival equalized toward the finish, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw.

Over the years, Hapoel experienced particularly memorable home games against Beitar, scoring four goals against them no less than seven times. The streak began on March 6, 1971, when Hapoel won 2-4 from goals by Yehoshua Feigenbaum (16), Yehezkel Hazum (57), and Shimon Ben Yehonatan (74, 76).

One of the greatest and most unforgettable games was held on March 16, 1996, within the 22nd round at Bloomfield. In the 36th minute, Avi Azoulai was sent off by referee Eyal Tzur, and Hapoel was left with ten men. Exactly from this point, the football show of Shalom Tikva began, conducting a red concert that included his own personal brace, alongside goals by Sagiv Eliyahu and Kazimierz Moskal, ending in an incredible 0-4 victory over the arch-rivals.

Another four-goal display was recorded on February 9, 2009, in the season preceding the last "Double". Goals by Mahran Lala (38, 66), Douglas da Silva (42), and Bibras Natkho (70) granted Hapoel a smooth 0-4 victory over Beitar.

With a massive 5:1 Derby victory, our U17 team lifted the State Cup for the 25/26 season! Friedman (brace), Ganaim, Melihi, and Ben Moshe scored

​The State Cup final brought Hapoel and Maccabi together this evening (Wednesday) for a Tel Aviv Derby played at the Green Stadium in Nof HaGalil.

​The dominance of Ohad Ashkenazi's boys was clear from the very first moment. The first half ended 3:0 with goals from Omer Friedman, Fouad Ganaim, and Ilay Melihi.

The opponent pulled one back at the start of the second half, but Friedman completed his brace and Yuval Ben Moshe sealed the final score - 5:1 to the Reds!

Incredible job, our young Reds!

Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv was defeated 1:4 tonight at Sammy Ofer Stadium by Maccabi Haifa as part of the 35th round of the Winner League. Debut goal for Xande Silva.

The Red Devils arrived for the away match at Sammy Ofer Stadium against Maccabi Haifa as part of the penultimate round of the 2025/2026 season. After the team had already officially secured fourth place in the table and a ticket to the Conference League qualifiers for next season, the main aspiration was to return to winning ways. Hapoel started several players in the opening lineup who had not received many playing minutes during the season.

The encounter opened in a balanced manner, with both teams trying to dictate the pace of the game. In the 24th minute, Hapoel scored: Xande Silva received the ball in the half-way line, went on a spectacular individual run where he bypassed several defensive players, and from a distance of about 16 meters unleashed a precise shot into the top corner to make it 0-1 for Hapoel. Later in the first half, the team reached several half-chances that were not translated into additional goals. Close to the halftime whistle, the hosts managed to exploit a lack of concentration in the defense and score the equalizer.

In the second half, Hapoel indeed dominated the game but conceded three goals, and the match ended in the highest defeat of the season, 1:4 at the finish.

At the end of the 35th round, Hapoel is located in fourth place in the table with 59 points (not including 2 points deducted by the court) and a goal balance of 54:37 (+17).

Played for Hapoel: Gad Amos, Amit Lemkin (Fernand Mayembo – 46), Shahar Piven {Captain}, Tal Archel, Yazan Nassar, Lucas Falcao (Loizos Loizou – 60), El Yam Kancepolsky, Roei Alkukin (Anas Mahamid – 76), Mor Buskila (Stav Toriel – 60), Xande Silva, Daniel Dappa (Omri Altman – 60).
