Dozens of Maccabi Haifa fans started a campaign to support the team's midfielder Omer Azili under the title: "An entire army of women behind you".
Some of the fans came with shirts and signs already yesterday to the match against MS Ashdod in Sami Ofer, when Atzili himself was moved by the gesture.
"Enough with the hypocrisy," said some of the women who initiated the move to "Israel Today", "there is a feeling that it is convenient for everyone to grab headlines about Omar Atzili, but it is time to show that there is another side. Maccabi Haifa fans support Atzili, strengthen him and it was important for us to convey the message ".

As I recall, ever since the Atzili and Dor Micah case broke, there has been public criticism of the two, especially of the connection between Maccabi Haifa and the Israel national team.
The women's lobby took the issue a step further and requested that he not be invited to the Israel national team, which caused great anger among the members of the football association, players in the national team and, it turns out, also among a significant part of Maccabi Haifa's fans.
