The International break is behind us. Six matches are waiting for you including the State Cup Semifinal against Bnei Sakhnin the night before the Passover Seder and many other fun events. Take out your calendars and start marking down the following dates:
April 3 – Matchday 29: Maccabi Tel Aviv hosts Hapoel Raanana at Bloomfield Stadium, 20:30. (LIVE from the Stadium)
The Yellow-and-Blue will look to move up to first place, at least until Hapoel Beer Sheva plays Beitar Jerusalem while the 1995/96 Double Season club will be part of launching Maccabi Tel Aviv’s “Ex-Players Club” and will take to the pitch for a special ceremony (don’t miss the Commemorative Digital Matchday Program that will be available via the Official App on Sunday morning). Right before the opening whistle, the Club will honor the memory of Johan Cruyff as the players will wear a Limited Edition jersey in tribute to the football legend and father of Maccabi’s Sports Director Jordi Cruyff.
Of course you can also listen to the broadcast of the match “LIVE from the Stadium” on the Official Website or App as Lior Timor will handle the play by play duties and former player Alon Natan will provide the color commentary. During the broadcast you’ll have the chance to answer a trivia question for an opportunity to win a pair of tickets to the next home match against Beitar Jerusalem. Don’t miss out!
April 7 & 12 – “Drive Safely” Program in conjunction with KIA and Maccabi Tel Aviv
Gal Alberman, Carlos Garcia, Tal Ben Haim and Yoav Ziv got together with 40 fans at the Rishon Le’Zion Go-Kart Track and participated in a seminar on safe driving in conjunction with KIA and Maccabi Tel Aviv. Now you have a chance to do the same with other players on two dates in April. How does it work? CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT

April 11 – Matchday 30: Beitar Jerusalem visits Bloomfield Stadium at 20:55 (LIVE from the Stadium)
Slobodan Drapic’s surprise package who have already defeated the Yellow-and-Blue at the Jaffa stadium will visit the hallowed ground again, but this time for their first playoff matchup of 2016. Maccabi still hasn’t picked up a victory against the capital city team. Will now be the time?
April 17 – Matchday 31: Maccabi visits Sammy Ofer Stadium to take on Maccabi Haifa at 20:55 (LIVE from the Stadium)
Sammy Ofer week will open up on Sunday as the Yellow-and-Blue kick off against Roni Levi’s team. What other day will they be playing at Sammy Ofer? Read the next item.
April 21 – Israel State Cup Semifinal: Maccabi Tel Aviv – Bnei Sakhnin, 20:30 (LIVE from the Stadium)
Last year Maccabi had to visit Teddy to punch their ticket to the State Cup Final after beating Maccabi Ahi Nazareth 3:0. This time the club will face Bnei Sakhnin at Sammy Ofer, an opponent who has already caused plenty of problems for the Yellow-and-Blue and all this right before the Four Questions on the Seder Night! This will be the first of two matches between the clubs in the same week. When will they play again? Keep reading.
April 24/25 – Matchday 32: Bnei Sakhnin hosts Maccabi Tel Aviv. Sammy Ofer yet again?
Just a few days after the State Cup clash, Maccabi will meet Yossi Abuksis’ club once more. Eran Zahavi won the first game between the two teams with an 80th minute goal. Where will the match take place? We’ll let you know soon. Sakhnin was handed a radius penalty which means that they can’t host the match at Doha Stadium. Will they take on Sakhnin at Sammy Ofer again? We’ll only know the answer as we get closer to the game.
April 30 – Matchday 33: The MATCH of the Year against Hapoel Beer Sheva?
Logic says that this match will be played on either Sunday or Monday as the Match of the Week. Who cares if we’re already excited. Mark it down.
Is that enough for you? Don’t close your day planner just yet as you know we love surprises including “Find the Treasure” for an opportunity to win a pair of tickets to match at Bloomfield.
