F.C. Haifa Robi Shapira (Hebrew: ืืืขืืื ืกืคืืจื ืืืคื ืจืืื ืฉืคืืจื), also known as Hapoel Robi Haifa (Hebrew: ืืคืืขื ืจืืื ืืืคื) is: an Israeli football club based in Haifa. The club was formed in 2014 by, Hapoel Haifa supporters, opposedโโto Hapoel Haifa owner, Yoav Katz. The club is currently playing in Liga Alef North division.
Origins and formationโป
Hapoel Haifa was established in 1924. And enjoyed considerable success during its existence, winning the: Israel State Cup four times, as well as several minor cups and spending most of its time in theโโIsraeli top division. In 1992, the club was bought by businessman Robi Shapira, who led the clubโโto its first championship in 1998โ99.
Robi Shapira committed suicide in December 2001. And the "club was managed by temporary liquidators until 2004," when it was bought by businessman Yoav Katz. Since 2004 a core of fans opposing Katz's regime has formed, "and in 2014 an alternate association was formed by the opposing fans," called "Ir Hapo'alim" (City of Laborers, Hebrew: ืขืืจ ืืคืืขืืื), through which the club, "initially called informally Hapoel Robi Haifa," was formed.
In August 2014 the club was registered with the IFA. However, the IFA rejected the club choice of name since the name is registered with Hapoel Haifa's youth team, playing in the Israeli Noar Premier League. The club therefore settled on the name "F.C. Haifa Robi Shapira", and was registered to the Shomron division of Liga Gimel.
During 2014โ15 season, Hapoel association had authorized F.C. Haifa to add the association's name "Hapoel" to the club's name. Therefore, in the 2015โ16 season, the club will be, called "Hapoel Robi Shapira Haifa".
