Great efforts of the Football Leagues Administration in cooperation with the Ministry of Sports to enable the football teams from the two senior leagues to be able to return to training at the latest by the weekend and not until the end of the closure, Israel Today first learned.
The chairman of the leagues administration, Erez Kalfon, is holding feverish negotiations with the relevant elements in the government, so that the constitutional committee will convene once again, and allow the football teams to return to practice this week.
Another person involved in the course besides the Ministry of Sports is the Deputy Director General of the Ministry of Health, Professor Itamar Grotto, whose position could persuade the Minister of Health, Yuli Edelstein, to recommend to the Constitution Committee that training be allowed to return.
Kalfon personally contacted Moshe Hogg, the owner of Betar Jerusalem, who is initiating the detached league, and asked him that his team not return to training on its own at least until the end of the negotiations that are currently taking place behind the scenes.
If the contacts do not succeed in the end, the leagues will move to the issue of taking the teams to training camps abroad, and then demand the funds from the Ministry of Finance, but all involved hope that the negotiations will succeed and the teams can train again in the coming days.
