About Hapoel Jerusalem FC

Hapoel Jerusalem Football Club is an Israeli professional football team based in Jerusalem. It was founded in 1926 and is part of the Hapoel sports association, traditionally linked to the labor movement. The club plays its home matches at Teddy Stadium and competes in the top tiers of Israeli football.

Throughout its history, Hapoel Jerusalem has experienced periods of both success and decline. Its greatest achievement came in 1973, when it won the national State Cup and also finished near the top of the league during that era. The club spent many years moving between the top and second divisions, reflecting an unstable but competitive presence in Israeli football.

In modern times, the club underwent major structural changes. Due to disputes with ownership, fans created a separate team in 2007, which later took over the original club’s identity in 2020, making Hapoel Jerusalem a fan-owned club. Today, it represents a unique model in Israeli football, combining historical legacy with strong community involvement.
