History
The club have spent 12 seasons in the second tier of
Israeli football. They were promoted to the second tier for the first time, after they won
Liga Bet North B division in the
1968–69 season. In the
1971–72 season, and once more, in the
1972–73 season, the club reached their best placing to date, after they finished fourth in
Liga Alef North division, in both seasons. The club remained in the second tier until 1976, when
Liga Artzit came into existence and became the new second tier of Israeli football, whilst Liga Alef became the third tier. The club finished the
1975–76 season in the ninth place, and was not promoted to Liga Artzit. However, in the
following season, the club won Liga Alef North, and were promoted to the new second tier. After narrowly escaping relegation in the
1977–78 season thanks to better goal difference, and again in the
following season, the club was relegated back to Liga Alef at the end of the
1979–80 season, after they finished second bottom in Liga Artzit.
10 years later, the club returned to Liga Artzit, and finished eleventh in the
1989–90 season. They were relegated in the
following season after they finished bottom, with only three wins. The club suffered further relegations, and folded.
The club was refounded in 2013, and played the
2013–14 season in
