Review and events
- On 10 October 1954 Udarnik Sofia arrived at Israel on the club's invitation, as a return visit to Hapoel's tour of Bulgaria at the end of the previous season. Udarnik played three matches, against Hapoel XI, a team composed of the best Hapoel affiliated players, against Tel Aviv XI, a mixed Hapoel and Maccabi team, and against Petah Tikva XI, a team mixed Hapoel and Maccabi Petah Tikva team. Udarnik won all three matches. At the end of the tour, as the Bulgarians encountered problems with obtaining visas for a layover in Istanbul, a fourth match was arranged with mixed teams of Udarnik, Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Jaffa.[1]
- During December 1954 and January 1955, as no league matches were played due to a dispute between Hapoel, Maccabi and Beitar factions in the IFA, The club organized a league competition for the top Tel Aviv teams, Hapoel, Maccabi, Beitar and Maccabi Jaffa. The competition was played as a double round-robin tournament, with the top placed team winning the cup, named after former Hapoel Tel Aviv treasurer, Yosef Shapira. The club won five matches and lost one, topping the table and winning the cup.[2]
- In early May 1955, Brazilian team Associação Atlética Portuguesa visited Israeli, playing three matches, the second of which was played against Hapoel Tel Aviv. The Brazilians beat Hapoel 4–0.[3] A mixed Maccabi-Hapoel team played against Portuguesa and lost 4–0.[4]
