Israel national football team
The Israel national football team (Hebrew: נבחרת ישראל בכדורגל, Nivkheret Yisra'el BeKaduregel) is the national football team of Israel, controlled by the Israel Football Association (IFA).
Israel National Football is the direct successor of the Eretz Yisrael National Team during British Mandate. Israel has taken part in three different continents: Asia, Europe and Oceania in the Football World Cup qualifiers, before settling in Europe as a member of UEFA in 1994.
The Israeli side qualified for their only FIFA World Cup to date in 1970.
History
Football has a long and rich tradition in Israel. The game was originally introduced during the time of the British Mandate for Palestine. The Eretz Yisrael FA was formed in 1928 and joined FIFA in 1929 but at the time the association was made up of Arab clubs, Jewish clubs and clubs representing British policemen or soldiers serving in the region during the British Mandate rule that spanned the period between World War One and the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. An Arab club represented the Palestinian FA in an attempt to qualify for the World Cup in 1930 while the qualification matches for the 1934 World Cup were contested by a Eretz Yisrael team made up exclusively of Jewish and British players.
Upon the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, the IFA became the official association of the new state. The Israel national team's first game as an independent nation was on September 26, 1948, against the United States (result: 3–1 to the USA).
Asian history
Israel initially competed in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), although due to their ongoing geopolitical situation, many Asian nations often refused to compete against Israel. This meant that they mainly competed in European (UEFA) or Oceanian (OFC) World Cup qualifying tournaments. In 1964, Israel hosted and won the Asian Nations Cup. In 1968, Israel went to their first Olympic Games and lost to Bulgaria in the quarterfinals. In 1970, Israel qualified for their first and only World Cup, via Oceania, but only earned two points after draws with Sweden and finalist Italy and a loss to Uruguay.
In 1976, Israel went to their second Olympic Games and lost in the quarterfinals again, this time against Brazil. In 1972 and 1977 they attempted World Cup qualification as part of Asia, which both times ended in failure.
Years in exile
In 1974, Israel was expelled from AFC. During the 1980s, they played their majority of matches against European teams, and competed in the European leg of qualification for the 1982 World Cup. For the next two tournaments, they entered the OFC's qualification groups and in 1989, Israel made it to the playoffs of the 1990 World Cup in Italy to play against Colombia, who qualified from the South American group, but lost (1–0, 0–0).
European history
In 1991, Israeli clubs began participating in European club competitions and Israel returned to the European leg of World Cup qualifying in 1992, notably winning 3–2 in Paris against France in 1993 and 5–0 against Austria in the late 1990s. In 1994, Israel received full UEFA membership, 20 years since they had left Asia. Within Europe, Israel have been a relatively minor nation, though with some successes. In 1999, Israel made it to the playoffs of Euro 2000, but were beaten by Denmark.
In 2006 World Cup qualifying, Israel finished third in European zone Group Four, behind France and Switzerland, respectively, despite being unbeaten in their 10 matches after four wins and six draws, and failed to qualify for the finals. Coach Avram Grant announced his resignation on 26 October 2005. After the end of his contract, he was succeeded by Dror Kashtan. In UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying, Israel finished fourth in Group E, behind Croatia, Russia, and England, respectively. The 4–3 home loss to Croatia was the first loss after 13 consecutive official games and nine home games without a loss. Although Israel failed to qualify, they advanced in the world ranking, which led Israel to Pot 2 at the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification draw. The continued presence of the Israeli Football Association in UEFA was a precedent cited by Australia to justify its transfer from the Oceania Football Confederation to the Asian Football Federation.
Stadium
Ramat Gan Stadium
The Israel national football team's home stadium is the national stadium in Ramat Gan. The stadium seats 41,583 and is the only stadium in Israel which is in a world-class standard. The stadium is mixed-use, fit for athletic competitions alongside its more popular usage as a football stadium when it hosts Israel international football matches and the UEFA Champions League games of Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa in the 2004–05 and 2009–10 seasons, respectively.
There are current plans to replace Ramat Gan Stadium with one that has a capacity of 60,000 people. The new stadium will cost more than 100 million dollars and with construction expected to start 2011 and finish in 2015.
