Maccabi Haifa will today (Monday) appeal the decision of the Football Association's court, which ruled that the penalty for closing the stands suffered by Hapoel Tel Aviv in the derby will apply in tomorrow's game against Hapoel B'Shlosha. Clarified: "This is a precedent-setting decision that only an outside audience will enter the stands.
In this case, the decision is also unsportsmanlike and interferes with the championship fight, even though it originally had nothing to do with it. "
Beyond that, the club is preparing for tomorrow's game against Maccabi Tel Aviv, knowing that the northern stand will be closed.
Fans of the group petitioned the Haifa District Court yesterday in a hearing that lasted nearly two hours.
The judge heard all the arguments and even expressed empathy towards attorneys Kim Ratosh and Eyal Weiss, but as initially thought, a civil court will probably not intervene in the decision of the independent courts of the Football Association.
Professionally, Haifa will arrive without the connection Muhammad Abu Fani, who was sent off against Hapoel B'Shlosha. Mahmoud Jaber is a candidate to open in his place on the 11th. Sean Goldberg will return to the center of defense in place of Ofri Arad.
