Today (Sunday), the chairman of the leagues administration, Erez Kalfon, sent a letter to AS Ashdod general manager Meirav Aish, informing her that the administration will deduct 25,000 shekels from the broadcasting rights to which the club is entitled.
According to Kalfon, Hapoel Rishon LeZion coach Ismail Amer's attack by the Ashdod men, in a game between the teams last Friday in the national league, severely damaged the image of Israeli football.
A letter from Kalfon stated: "People who were defined by you in various forms as officials in the club entered the field and physically violently attacked the head coach of the opposing team, an event that only miraculously did not end in serious injury. From the Israeli football brand.
"There is no need to say too much about the serious damages that were caused to the Football Leagues Administration as a result of this violent behavior that received wide resonance.
"This behavior undermines the principal's considerable efforts to locate owners, partners and sponsors from the business world and presents Israeli football in a violent, criminal and dangerous light."
Meanwhile, the police announced that they had arrested a resident of Ramla and a resident of Herzliya on suspicion of assaulting the football coach in Rishon LeZion, and the two will be brought in tomorrow for an extension of detention.
