The return of Noble Omar to Israeli football caused a wide public outcry, due to his involvement in the minors affair following which he was released from Maccabi Tel Aviv and moved to play in Cyprus. This morning Maccabi Haifa announced the official signing of the three-and-a-half year.
"After long deliberations and examining the issue in depth and in the perspective of time, I made an informed decision to absorb the noble player Omar at Maccabi Haifa," said Shahar.
"During this period the issue came up again and again in the media. Eli also had appeals against and for. The 'for' significantly outweighed the 'against'. The main consideration against was the immoral act. In contrast, the investigators' ruling that there is no criminal offense. "To support his family. Everyone deserves a second chance."
The President of the Greens added: "The saying" the person before the player "is the guiding line for all officials in our club, to follow and educate according to it. "Man is also the ability to forgive. Noble Omar is aware of the damage and suffering caused by his one-time stumble. As part of our club, Omar will take part in activities for the community and help us continue to succeed on the field."
