Israel Football Association, Football association federation in Ramat Gan, Israel
The Israel Football Association is the national governing body that manages competitions at all levels, from local leagues to the national teams. Based at Ramat-Gan Stadium, it oversees administrative operations, referee certification, and the organization of tournaments throughout the country.
Founded in 1928 during the British Mandate period as the Palestine Football Association, it joined FIFA in 1929. The organization later shifted to UEFA membership in 1994 as regional circumstances evolved.
The federation supports football at every level, from youth programs to professional play, creating pathways for players of different abilities. This structure has made the sport a central part of community and national identity.
The federation is located on Aba Hilell Street in Ramat Gan and is accessible by public transport or car. It is best to call ahead to confirm visiting hours and arrange any tours you may want.
The organization competed in Asian football tournaments until 1974, when it moved to European competitions after years of participation in that confederation. This shift makes it one of the few associations worldwide to change continental football federations.
