The association's Supreme Court partially accepted Maccabi Tel Aviv's appeal against the penalty imposed on it following the events of the cup game against Hapoel B'Shlosha. 11 will be closed.
Now, after the appeal, the association has decided to make it easier for the team, and instead of five league games, the stands will be closed for only three games - and the team can also choose them.
The Yellows will most likely serve the penalty early next season, in the Toto Cup games.

This is a significant relief for the Yellows, as the closure of the stands in league games was also a significant economic damage to the club's coffers.
The Supreme Court said the penalty should be gradual, claiming closing the stands for five games is too high a leap forward, and the punishment should be more moderate.
Were we wrong?
