30 years after it was lost, the trophy was found in Khan Yunis - and returned to its owner - voila! sport. Eli Yifarah played for Maccabi Maccabim-Reot and advanced with it to the second league.
The trophy that was awarded to him disappeared a short time later. It was found by Major Akiva Halfon, a sports enthusiast and activist, who began a search for the owner of the trophy from whose house the trophy disappeared in the late 1990s.
