After an exhausting tournament that began in the early rounds, three of Maccabi Tel Aviv's Youth Division teams will participate today in the finals of National Cup for Youth, which will be played at the second annual Israel Football Association open day at the National Stadium in Ramat Gan.
At 12.30pm Maccabi Tel Aviv's Under-13s, Maccabi Tel Aviv "Leibo", will face their counterparts from Hapoel Rishon Lezion. In earlier rounds the Maccabi youngsters have already defeated Hapoel Ashkelon, Maccabi Netanya, Hapoel Ramat Hasharon and, in the semi-finals, Hapoel Ra'anana.
At 3pm it will be the turn of the Under-12s and Under-11s, who will play their final matches at the same hour. The Under-12s, like their older Maccabi clubmates, will face Hapoel Rishon Lezion, while the Under-11s will be up against Maccabi Petach Tikva.
At the Israel Football Association open day there will be a wide range of attractions, competitions, performances and an exhibition match pitting a team of past stars of the Israel National Team against a team of current stars in the world of entertainment. There will be a special stand for the European Under-21 championships that will be held in Israel in June, and members of the young Israel team will be there to sign autographs along with tours that will be conducted of the national team's dressing rooms. For the participants there will be some very valuable prizes too: A family holiday at one of the Fattal hotels in Eilat or the Dead Sea, a free flight for the whole family to see the Israel national team play in Portugal, official match footballs, national team jerseys and much more.
