In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the club’s women’s and men’s teams will continue the tradition that began five years ago and take the field over the next two days wearing pink kits
Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv Football Club will mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month over the coming weekend. The women’s team will face Maccabi Atlit tomorrow (Friday) at 13:30, while the men’s team will meet Ironi Tiberias on Saturday at 17:30. Both teams will wear pink kits in support of the fight against breast cancer and to raise awareness for the cause.
Before kickoff of the men’s match, a special ceremony will be held with the participation of volunteers from the “One in Nine” organization, emphasizing the importance of early detection, treatment, and prevention.
Founded in 1994, “One in Nine” supports women with breast cancer and their families, providing emotional and practical assistance through volunteers who have recovered from the disease, as well as professional guidance, information, and advocacy. The organization promotes awareness campaigns and educational programs on early detection and prevention. It is Israel’s oldest and leading organization dedicated to women battling breast cancer and their loved ones.
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women in Israel, accounting for about one-third of new cancer cases. According to the Israel Cancer Association, by the end of 2025 approximately 5,730 new cases will be diagnosed-an average of 16 per day-and around 1,000 women are expected to die from the disease each year. Early detection through mammography is highly encouraged, with participation rates above 70% in recent years. Prevention, early screening, and genetic monitoring remain key factors in the fight against breast cancer.
