Gil Cohen (Hebrew: גיל כהן; born 8 November 2000) is an Israeli professional footballer who plays as a center-back or as a full-back for Israeli Premier League club Beitar Jerusalem.
Cohen was born and raised in Ashdod, Israel, to an Israeli family of Sephardi Jewish descent.
He also holds Portuguese passport, on account of his Sephardi Jewish ancestors, which eases the move to certain European football leagues.[1]
