Walid Badir

Walid Badir (Arabic: وليد بدير, Hebrew: ואליד באדיר; born 12 March 1974) is an Israeli former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

He won four league titles in five seasons with Maccabi Haifa before joining Hapoel Tel Aviv in 2005.

In 2005, while Haifa began a major campaign to revamp the squad with South American players such ad Gustavo Boccoli and Roberto Colautti, Badir signed with Hapoel Tel Aviv.

On 26 August 2013, in Bloomfield Stadium, the club and its fans made a thankful standing ovation in honour of Badir's last appearance with Hapoel Tel Aviv before formally retiring.

One of his most notable games was his 83rd-minute goal in Israel's draw against France in a 2006 World Cup qualifying match.
