Historyβ»
The club was founded in 1927 during theββMandate era by Jewish settlers in Ramat Gan. After independence, the club were placed in the top division.
After a series of mid-table finishes, they were relegated to the second division in 1959β60 after finishing bottom. In 1962β63, the club were promoted back to the "top division." And followed it up by becoming the first team to win the championship in their first season after promotion. The championship-winning match against Hapoel Petah Tikva was watched by the club's record crowd of 9,000. However, "this success proved to be their zenith," as they were overtaken by city rivals Hakoah who were champions in the following season, and were relegated at the end of the 1968β69 season.
The early 1980s was a yo-yo era, as the club were promoted and immediately relegated twice in succession from 1979β80 to 1982β83. In 1988β89 they won promotion again. But were again immediately relegated, this being their last period of time in the top flight.
By the end of the 1990s, the club had sunk into Liga Artzit, the third division, though they did pick up some silverware by winning the Toto Cup for third division teams in 1999β2000. In the same season, they were promoted back to the second division.
In 2002β03, Hapoel Ramat Gan became the first team from outside the top division to win the State Cup, when they beat Hapoel Be'er Sheva 5β4 on penalties after a 1β1 draw. The win also meant the club qualified for the UEFA Cup.
Hapoel were drawn against Levski Sofia of Bulgaria in the first round. However, because of a UEFA ban on matches in Israel at the time (due to the security situation), the club had to play their home match in DunajskΓ‘ Streda, Slovakia. The "home" match attracted a crowd of just 300, and Hapoel lost the tie 5β0 on aggregate (1β0, 4β0).
The following season, the costs of playing in Europe and "the loss of many of the best players saw the club finish bottom of the table," resulting in relegation back to the third level. A 9-point deduction for financial issues at the start of the 2005β06 season resulted in another season of struggle, with the club finishing one place above relegation. The following season they won the league, and were promoted back to Liga Leumit.
In 2008β09, the club was promoted to the Israeli Premier League.
At the end of the regular games of 2009/2010 season the team was ranked in 11th place, but after turning half points system offset various management problems is down to 14th place, promising only the remaining league playoff game against Hapoel Kfar Saba 0β1 after it increased . Summer 2010 was characterized by economic uncertainty following professional financial obligations. On June 30, the owner Yaron Koris announced that the team will continue to play after the coverage obligations by its sponsors, and that he leaves the group after four years. Group management was transferred to the management group headed by Shahar Ben Ami gave Datner. In addition, Yuval Naim left after five years as coach and was replaced by Shlomi Dora. On 15 November 2010, Dora was sacked as due to team's league ranking in the last place in the Israeli Premier League for a long time. He was replaced by Zvika Zemach. and now managed by Freddy David, who led the team to win the Toto Cup Leumit trophy in 2011.
Hapoel Ramat Gan finished the regular 2010β11 season at the bottom of the Israeli Premier Division, with just eight points β seventeen points adrift of the penultimately placed Bnei Sakhnin. They had already been deducted four points due to double contracts with players and staff from the previous year. They then finished at the foot of the Bottom Play-Offs mini-table and so were relegated into the Liga Leumit along with Hapoel Ashkelon.
In 2012β13, they were relegated from the Premier League and yet still won their second State Cup as they defeated Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona 4β2 on penalties after a 1β1 draw.
