Hapoel Raanana is an Israeli football club from the city of Raanana in the Central District. The team currently plays in the Leumit League, Israel's second division. They host their matches at the Raanana Municipal Stadium, a modern facility in the heart of the city. Founded in 2005 after a merger of local clubs, Hapoel Raanana has a relatively short but ambitious history, quickly climbing the league pyramid. The club's key era was its first stint in Ligat Ha'Al from 2013 to 2016, establishing itself as a solid top-flight club and reaching the State Cup semi-finals in 2014. In the modern era, after relegation, Hapoel Raanana has been a perennial contender for promotion back to the first division, often boasting a squad with significant top-flight experience. The team culture is family-oriented and community-focused, reflecting the character of Raanana itself, with growing support from the city's residents. It is a well-organized club with clear ambitions to regain its place among Israel's elite.
