The Classic Fan Home of Hapoel Kfar Saba
For years, hapoel-kfs.org served as one of the main online addresses connected with Hapoel Kfar Saba F.C. After a period of inactivity, this historic domain has been revived as an independent fan resource and information platform dedicated to the club, its history, and its supporters.
Why hapoel-kfs.org?
This domain has long been associated with Hapoel Kfar Saba in football databases, historical records, and fan memory. While the club’s official website is now hapoel-kfs.org.il, many supporters still recognise hapoel-kfs.org as the classic online home of the Greens.
We brought this address back to create a dedicated space for fans — a place focused on the club’s story, achievements, and community, while preserving the legacy of the original site.

A Century in Green – Club History
Early Years and First Breakthroughs (1928–1970s)
Hapoel Kfar Saba was founded in 1928. For decades the club competed in the lower divisions, gradually building its reputation. The first major milestone came in the 1951–52 season, when the team won the South Division of Liga Bet and earned promotion to the top flight. The 1950s and 1960s were characterised by a series of promotions and relegations as the club established itself as a competitive side from the Sharon region.
The Golden Era – 1980s Championship and Cup Success
The late 1970s and early 1980s marked the club’s greatest period. Under manager Dror Kashtan, Hapoel Kfar Saba won the Israeli Championship in 1981–82 — their only top-division league title to date — and lifted the Super Cup the same year.
During this successful decade the club also won the State Cup three times:
- 1974–75: 1–0 against Beitar Jerusalem
- 1979–80: 4–1 against Maccabi Ramat Amidar
- 1989–90: 1–0 after extra time against Shimshon Tel Aviv
These achievements remain the proudest in the club’s history.
Survival, Administration and Comebacks (2000s–2020s)
The 2000s and 2010s brought significant challenges. In 2012–13 the club entered administration and suffered a nine-point deduction, leading to relegation to the third tier. Thanks to strong support from the Halev Hayarok trust and new ownership, Hapoel Kfar Saba achieved back-to-back promotions in 2013–14 (Liga Alef champions) and 2014–15 (Liga Leumit runners-up), returning to the Israeli Premier League. They were relegated again in 2017 but have since remained a stable and competitive presence in Liga Leumit.
