By the end of the season, the club lost its promotion race, as it finished second behind Hapoel Kabul,[2] and as the series concluded broadcast, the project was handed over to the municipality. The club promoted to Liga Bet in 1999, and won promotion in 2001 to Liga Alef. In 2003–04 the club finished 13th in the league, set to relegate to Liga Bet, but Maccabi Hadera folded.
