Hapoel Tiberias FC
Israel · Founded: 1935
Hapoel Tiberias Football Club was an Israeli football team based in the city of Tiberias. Founded in 1935, it was part of the Hapoel sports association and became one of the main football clubs in the region. The team competed during the British Mandate period in regional leagues and continued its activity after the establishment of the State of Israel.
After being re-established in 1953, the club progressed through the lower divisions and achieved promotion to the top tier in the early 1960s. Its most successful period came during that decade, including a third-place finish in its first top-flight season. It also won a special national cup competition in 1958, marking one of the highlights in its history.
In later years, Hapoel Tiberias experienced fluctuating performances, moving between divisions and facing financial difficulties. The club briefly returned to the top division in the late 1980s but was soon relegated again. Ongoing financial problems eventually led to its decline, and the club was dissolved in 1994, ending its long history in Israeli football.
