The general manager of the Football Association, Yossi Sharabi, met today (Sunday) with the captain of the Israeli women's team, Karin Sandel, and the players Shai Perl and Michal Bin, in order to ensure the best possible conditions for the team in preparation for the 2023 World Cup qualifiers. It should be noted that later on, Sharabi will hold a meeting with the various parties in the association who are responsible for the selected activities, training and games, to coordinate the continuation of the treatment.
Yossi Sharabi, CEO of the association, explained: "The unmediated dialogue with the players and the team is the best way to coordinate expectations and maintain continuous contact that will prevent incidents such as those we experienced last week.
I was happy to meet committed and ambitious players who see the team as the pinnacle of their career and a great privilege.
"The Football Association considers women's football to be one of the biggest engines of growth and, despite not simple structural problems, will work to promote and develop the industry. "Not just the football association. The direct communication channel between me and the players and the team will ensure that."
Karin Sandel, captain of the team: "Being part of the Israeli team is the dream of every player from the moment she steps on the lawn. This right also brings with it a great responsibility and we are well aware of it. I am convinced that the association strives to correct the necessary conditions. For the benefit of a successful campaign and promotion of the industry.
"The extreme step we took stemmed from a genuine desire to succeed and the conversation today will help the common goal of us all. The association's CEO stressed that his door is open to us at all times and I am confident that direct contact will contribute to disconnecting the team from any outside intervention."
