2006–07 Liga Alef

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2006–07 Liga Alef season saw Hapoel Bnei Jadeidi (champions of the North Division) and Hapoel Maxim Lod (champions of the South Division) winning the title and promotion to Liga Artzit. However as Hapoel Maxim Lod folded during the following summer, eventually second placed Hapoel Kfar Shalem was promoted instead.

At the bottom, the bottom two clubs in each division, Hapoel Reineh, Maccabi Sektzia Ma'alot-Tarshiha (from North division), A.S. Ramat Eliyahu and Hapoel Arad (from South division) were all automatically relegated to Liga Bet, whilst the two clubs which were ranked in 12th place in each division, Hapoel Kafr Sumei and Hapoel Tzafririm Holon entered a promotion/relegation play-offs, Hapoel Tzafririm Holon prevailing to stay in Liga Alef, while Hapoel Kafr Sumei were relegated after losing the play-offs.
