Ilay Feingold[1] (also spelled Faingold,[2] Hebrew: עיליי פיינגולד; born 23 August 2004) is an Israeli professional footballer who plays as a right-back or centre-back for the Major League Soccer club New England Revolution.
[3] He formerly played for Israeli Premier League club Maccabi Haifa and Israel national team.
Feingold was born and raised in Netanya, Israel,[4][5] to an Israeli family of Ashkenazi Jewish (Romanian-Jewish) descent.
[5][6][7][8] He also holds Romanian passport, on account of his Ashkenazi Jewish ancestors,[6][7][8] which eases the move to certain European football leagues.
[13] Feingold has played for Israel U19, where he had a crucial role as part the opening line-up in the 2022 UEFA European Under-19 Championship which took place in Slovakia, and helped his native Israel to earn 2nd place (runner-ups) in the finals; just behind eventual champions England U19.
