Maccabi Ironi Netivot F.C.

The club is currently in Liga Bet South B division.

The club was founded in 2002, after the previous football club of the city, Hapoel Netivot, which have played in Liga Gimel South division, up until the 2000–01 season,[1] was dissolved, following eight matches suspension due to crowd trouble.

In the 2008–09 season, which was the last season of Liga Alef as the fourth tier of Israeli football, as Liga Artzit was scrapped, the club was close to achieve promotion to Liga Leumit, the second tier or Israeli football.

however, they finished runners-up in Liga Alef South, two points behind champions, Maccabi Be'er Sheva, and remained in Liga Alef.

the club played in Liga Alef until the 2011–12 season, when they finished second bottom, and relegated to Liga Bet, following a defeat of 0–1 to Hapoel Azor in the Relegation play-offs.
