The chairman of the Kfar Saba volleyball club, Gary Abramovich, came out against the reform of the Ministry of Sports, which led to a cut of about a third in the club's budget.
At a press conference held today (Sunday) by Hapoel Kfar Saba, Abramovich added that the reform caused damage to the industry, and the club's budget was reduced from six million to 4.2 million.
"We are in a war for survival in the face of budget cuts."
Gary Abramowitz added that he suggested to the chairman of the Volleyball Association not to open the game season and call a committee called.
Mayor Kfar Saba Rafi Saar added: "I send a message to the state and the Ministry of Sports: back up the volleyball industry from a budgetary point of view, it is not possible for all the financial burden to fall on local authorities. Hapoel Kfar Saba is a competitive club, more than half based on women, So that they can continue to succeed. "
The deputy mayor and sports commissioner, Oren Cohen, promised that "the municipality will give a boost to a club that does a blessed job so that they can succeed in the European enterprise."
Hapoel Kfar Saba, which participates every year in the European men's and women's factory, will host Riggs from Latvia this Wednesday and Thursday in the European Challenge Cup for women (Einstein Hall).
Both games will take place in the country due to a closure in Latvia in the face of the corona.
Women's team coach Elad Spaghetti: "We have built a strong squad. Seven players continue with us from last season, joined by two foreign women and players. We can make history and reach the European Final Four this season. It requires hard work and perseverance, we can stand it. I call on sports fans Come this week for a game against Riggs and enjoy a volleyball experience. "
