Football Club Nazareth Illit (Moadon Kaduregel Natzrat Illit) is an Israeli football club based in the city of Nazareth Illit.

History

Several clubs named Maccabi Nazareth Illit existed, mostly playing the lower ranks of the Israeli football league system.[1]

In 2007 the club was re-established[2] and played for several seasons in Liga Gimel,[3] before folding after the 2010–11 season.

The current club was established in July 2012[4] and was placed in the Jezreel division of Liga Gimel, finishing third in its first and second seasons. In the Cup, the club twice progressed to the third round before falling, in both occasions to Hapoel Sandala Gilboa.

At the beginning of the 2014–15 season the club was ordered to pay the Nazareth Illit municipality a sum of 40,000 NIS for using Green Stadium[5] and, as a result, was facing closure. After negotiations with the municipality, the sum was waived and the club registered with the IFA.[6]

The club was named after Israel Prison Service Sergeant, Hanan Ohayon, who perished in the Mount Carmel forest fire.[7] However, his name was removed from the club's name at the request of the family in 2016.

Stadium

The club plays its home games at the Green Stadium.
