List of Hakoah Tel Aviv F.C. seasons

This is a list of seasons played by Hakoah Tel Aviv, from 1934 (when the club was established) to 1962, when the club played its last season under the name Hakoah Tel Aviv, before merging with Maccabi Ramat Gan to form Hakoah Maccabi Ramat Gan. It details the club's achievements in major competitions, and the top scorers for each season, if available. Top scorers in bold were also the top scorers in the Israeli league that season. Records of minor competitions such as the Lilian Cup are not included due to them being considered of less importance than the State Cup and the Toto Cup.

History

edit

A club called Hakoah Tel Aviv existed as early as 1923, taking part in a regional league played in the Tel Aviv region,[1] finishing 7th.[2] In 1934, a new Hakoah Tel Aviv was established by former members of Hakoah Berlin. The club joined the EIFA and the Palestine League. The club played at the top division until 1945. In December 1946 the club merged with Hakoah 09 Tel Aviv, a club established by former members of Hakoah Vienna in 1943, and relegated to play in the second division. The club played in the second division until winning the division in 1962, after which the club merged with Maccabi Ramat Gan to form Haokoah Maccabi Ramat Gan.
