Hapoel Jerusalem Football Club is a professional team based in Israel's capital city, competing in the Israeli Premier League. They play their home matches at the Teddy Stadium. Founded in 1926, it is one of the oldest clubs in the country and carries the traditional red colors of the Hapoel sports association. The club has a passionate fanbase but has historically lived in the shadow of the city's more successful basketball team. Their football history includes periods in the top flight and a memorable State Cup runner-up finish in 1973. After years in the lower leagues, a major investment and ambitious project saw Hapoel Jerusalem earn promotion to the Premier League, aiming to establish themselves as a top-division force. The atmosphere at Teddy Stadium is growing, with fans hoping to build a new legacy. The club now focuses on building a competitive squad to secure its status and bring footballing pride to Jerusalem.
