History
editBeitar Netanya
editThe original Beitar Netanya team spent several years in the lower divisions, mainly in the second division there the club played from 1961 to 1977, 1981–82 and in 1986 the club was promoted to the top division (then Liga Leumit) as Liga Artzit champions. However, the club won only three games in its first and only season in the top flight, and were relegated with just 10 points, the lowest ever total during a 16-team season.
At the end of the 1991–92 Liga Artzit season the club was relegated to the third tier and then disbanded in 1993. A consortium of Israeli investors purchased the club rights.
