In a stunning turn of events, Hapoel Acre has been saved from relegation to the Israeli Liga Alef. The northern club was initially set to be demoted following a decision from the Israel Football Association. However, a dramatic eleventh-hour purchase by Tzahi Nakash and Almog company has secured the team’s place in the National League. Nakash, who had initially agreed to purchase the club, had backed out on Saturday, leaving the club on the verge of relegation. This prompted the Football Association to confirm Acre’s demotion and even cancel their season opener against Hapoel Afula. However, Nakash has now changed his mind, completing the acquisition and providing the necessary guarantees to the financial oversight body. This dramatic turnaround has left many in shock and has given the team a new lease on life in the National League.
