List of Maccabi Haifa F.C. players

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maccabi Haifa Football Club is an Israeli association football club based in Haifa. The club was formed in 1913 as a local branch of the Maccabi movement, and played their first competitive matches before the establishment of the State of Israel. Since then, more than 300 players have made a competitive first team appearance for the club, of whom almost 100 players have made at least 100 appearances (including substitute appearances); those players are listed here, as well as those who have played fewer matches but have made significant contributions to the club's history (e.g. Haim Revivo and Yakubu).

For a list of all Maccabi Haifa players, major or minor, with a Wikipedia article, see Category:Maccabi Haifa F.C. players. For the current Maccabi Haifa first-team squad, see the First-team squad section of the club's main article.

Players are listed according to the date of their first team debut for the club. Appearances and goals are for first-team competitive matches only; friendly matches are excluded.
