The captain of the Georgian national team will remain at the club for another season: “I’m ready to give everything for the club and for the people who believed in me.”
Georgian midfielder Ana Cheminava has signed a one-year contract with the club, with an option for an additional season. She will wear the red jersey for the second consecutive year.

Now fully recovered, she is ready and eager for the start of the 2025/26 season.
She has earned 54 international caps for the Georgian national team, where she proudly wears the captain’s armband.
Following the signing, Cheminava said:
“Throughout the entire challenging rehabilitation process, Hapoel stood by me without hesitation. Now, I’m ready to give back and give my all — to the club, to the fans, and to those who believed in me.”
Good luck, Ana!
