Hakoah Tel Aviv (Hebrew: הכח תל אביב) was an Israeli football club based in Tel Aviv. In 1959 it merged with Maccabi Ramat Gan to form Hakoah Maccabi Ramat Gan.
[edit] History
The club was founded in 1938 by a group of former Hakoah Vienna players who had immigrated to Palestine from Austria.
In the first post-independence season, the club played in the Tel Aviv Division of Liga Meuhedet. The following season, 1951-52 (there was no league football in the 1950-51 season) they were placed in the South Division of Liga Bet, finishing fourth. In 1954-55 they missed out on the league title by a point, finishing as runners-up to Maccabi Jaffa, who were promoted to the top division after play-offs. The following season Hakoah played Maccabi Jaffa in a promotion/relegation match, with Jaffa winning 4-1 on aggregate. The season after they also failed in the promotion/relegation play-offs.
At the end of the 1958-59 season, in which they finished third, the club merged with Maccabi Ramat Gan to form a new club, Hakoah Maccabi Ramat Gan. The new club played at Maccabi's Gali Gil stadium in Ramat Gan.
