Maccabi Haifa crossed the 20,000 subscriber threshold and even before the season began, the champion guaranteed revenues of more than NIS 30 million.
This is a huge income on an Israeli scale, since with the exception of Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel B'Shlosha, it is an amount that is collected from the budget of other Premier League teams.
The club has decided not to sell more subscriptions in order to allow the sale of tickets for the younger generation and other fans, who do not have a subscription.
Along with revenues, the club's budget has increased significantly this season and has risen to over NIS 90 million.
These numbers may increase depending on the group's progress in European factories, as there are expenses of leasing aircraft and so on.
At the same time, in Europe alongside the expenses there is also high income from grants received by UEFA, depending on the plant in which the group will participate.
Meanwhile, ticket sales for the Champions League game have begun and it is estimated that all tickets allocated to the team's fans will be sold, as well as for the game against Olympiacos, when Sami Ofer is expected to be full of about 30,000 spectators.
