Will Maccabi Tel Aviv manage to fill Bloomfield Stadium in the cup match against Maccabi Jaffa next Tuesday (27.2)? As you know, it is a Saturday due to the local elections and the Yellows decided to give a free ticket to all season ticket holders, so about 22 thousand Maccabi Tel Aviv fans are entitled to a ticket.
The decision to give a ticket free of charge was made as part of the compensation that the club should give to the subscription fans for the fact that games were held without an audience. The club’s message to the fans states that “Due to the fact that the home league game against Maccabi Netanya (12/17/23) was held without an audience, the club decided to allow season ticket holders for the 2023/24 season to receive, as compensation, return and refund, a ticket to the game against Maccabi Jaffa at a price of 0 NIS. The card will be for the subscriber’s permanent residence.”
Maccabi Tel Aviv hopes that as a result, many fans will come to the game against Jaffa in the round of 16 of the State Cup, a venture they aim to win this season. One of the reasons why a training match against Hapoel Kfar Saba (1:5) was held yesterday was also to practice the players by returning to the situation of two games a week, since in March they expect two more such games in the round of 16 of the Conference League.
In the meantime, as far as the game against Hapoel Beer Sheva is concerned, the tickets offered for sale have sold out and the field will be full for the important top game against the players of Eliniv Barda. On the professional side, it is doubtful whether Derrick Lucassen will be available to Robbie Keane after he didn’t practice yesterday and didn’t take part in the game against Kfar Saba. Raz Shlomo suffers from swelling in his knee and is in doubt for the game, so his condition will be determined in the next two training sessions.
Maccabi Tel Aviv is considering re-applying to Shiv Yehezkel, but they expect a change in the player’s financial requirements. So far there has been no agreement between the parties, the Yellows were not ready to meet the requirements of Ezekiel’s contract the last time the parties talked and according to sources in the club, if there is no significant reduction, it will be very difficult to make a deal between them.

Maccabi Tel Aviv knows that they are in a problem at the right back position and it is true that Ido Shahar is the second option for this position as far as the professional team is concerned, but after the good ability he displayed in the center of the pitch, it is not sure that it is the right move to make him the team’s right back when it is clear that there is a problem with Avishai Cohen also in terms of the team The professional, who chose to take him out at halftime against Netanya and replace him with a left defender.
