The success of Israel's under-20 team in the World Cup has led to increased interest in Ofir Haim's squad players. Hapoel Tel Aviv has five representatives in the squad that reached the quarterfinals: Stav Lemkin, Or Israelov, El Yam Kanzpolsky, Ran Binyamin and Omer Senior.
The release clauses of all four are for overseas teams only. Australian Michael Valcanis is a candidate to join the team's professional team.
