Dear supporters,
First and foremost, all of us at Maccabi Tel Aviv FC hope that you and your families are healthy and strong.
During these extraordinary times, it is crucial for all of us to heed the Health Ministry’s instructions so that we may avoid illness and ensure that our loved ones also stay healthy.
All football in the country was halted around two weeks ago and there will be no play until further notice. In the meantime, while we all miss our beloved game, we want to update you about what is happening at the club.
The global battle to stop the spread of coronavirus has completely changed daily lives everywhere and has shut down sporting activities all over the world. At the club, work continues in accordance with Health Ministry guidelines as we focus our attention on engaging with our fans and devote efforts to helping the community.
In order to act in the most professional manner possible, Maccabi Tel Aviv has maintained direct contact with many clubs in Europe, as well as with the European Clubs Association (ECA), the Israel Professional Football League and the Israel Football Association. The sharing of information and consultations with our colleagues from AC Milan and Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Ajax on how to operate during these turbulent times regarding the team and players and no less important, maintaining ties with our supporters contributes to all of us.
The teams’ daily schedule
All Maccabi’s squads, from the first team to the Youth Academy, have halted all regular training for over a week in accordance with the Health Ministry’s instructions.
The first team players have received individual training schedules and dietary instructions from the fitness staff tailored to confinement at home. These include a general program and detailed instructions designed for each player.
The various Youth Academy teams are also keeping to a training regimen that has been specifically prepared for them.
As many of you have seen in our official website and on our social media platforms, the players and club staff are making every effort to maintain contact with you. Together, we will continue to create content that we hope will grab your attention and put a smile on your faces.
Maccabi Tel Aviv FC Foundation and medical teams
While our daily lives are in turmoil and society is suffering, we confront additional challenges. This has prompted the Maccabi Tel Aviv FC Foundation to support medical teams who are working around the clock to help save lives.
Over the past weekend, the foundation together with “Achim Lasemel,” purchased 5,000 surgical masks for hospital staff. In view of the great shortage, we have decided that the “Passover from the Heart” campaign that raises funds for the needy ahead of Seder Night, will offer the opportunity to collect donations for medical equipment needed to treat the sick.
We thank all those who have already given money to the project. We know that we will overcome this crisis more effectively if we work together and by doing so we will emerge stronger.
Please help us to help others. Please click here to donate.
The official shop and customer support
Maccabi Tel Aviv’s official stores at Kiryat Shalom and Kanyon Hazahav in Rishon Lezion are currently closed but the online shop continues to operate as normal, as does our online customer service helpline. We are doing everything to answer your queries as swiftly as possible.
For any queries, you are invited to contact us through: maccabi@mtafc.com
Season Tickets and Tickets
The club is awaiting news from the Health Ministry and the Israel Professional Football League about when play may resume. We have received many queries from season ticket holders and promise to update you all when we know more.
As soon as we get word, we will publish information on all the club’s official media platforms.
In summary, and most importantly, dear fans, we implore you to guard your own and your loved ones’ health and follow Health Ministry guidelines.
In the meantime, the club and the players are making every effort to keep you interested and refreshed with content and activities until we get back into action.
We look forward to seeing you all again very soon at full strength and in the best of health.
Yours,
Maccabi Tel Aviv FC
