Since the decision of the Israeli government to impose a closure on Israel, sports clubs in the country are not allowed to hold training and take place under a proper sports routine.
The only teams that have been approved to continue training are the teams that play in European settings.
In other words, currently only Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel B'Shlosha, which have qualified for the home stage of the Europa League, have the right to train.
At the same time, the rest of the Premier League teams and many players express their dissatisfaction with the bad treatment they are receiving.
One of the most active groups on the subject and its many voices are heard is Betar Jerusalem. In protest of the decision of the Ministry of Health, today (Wednesday) the group from the capital decided to hold a full training at home and garden with the encouragement and full consent of the owner, Moshe Hogg.
So that the move would not be illegal, the Black Yellows once again looked for a way around the restrictions as the basketball teams signed up for the Balkan League, and accordingly Betar announced its joining the EMF Champions League. "The president of the Federation of the European Football League (Minifootball), Mr. Borislav Alexandrov, sent a letter today in which he wrote, among other things, that the organization would be happy to add Israeli teams to its league, so that they can take part in competitions."
These are leagues of 5-8 players on grass, which also includes international games, the Champions League and more, the league was founded in 2012 and the competition to which the club is registered is the EMF Champions League, in which 6 on 6 games are played.
The EMF Association has decided to hold an international team competition tournament, which will take place in May 2021, in which teams from Israel, Cyprus and Turkey will take part, competing for the possibility of qualifying for the final tournament, which is expected to take place in August 2021 in Italy.
