Hamza Shibli was born and raised in the Bedouin village of Shibli at the foot of Mount Tabor. He went down to Neve Yosef, returned to Maccabi Haifa, scored for Juventus and received a debut call-up to the Israeli national team.
"Hamza's path was not simple," recalls his father Yusuf Shibli. "The transition was very high, but Hamza is a guy with a lot of ambitions," says Yusuf.
