Review and events
- On August 1954, Maccabi Tel Aviv departed for a tour of Italy, intending to play Lazio, Torino, Roma and Napoli. However, the matches against Torino and Roma were cancelled,[1] and the team returned home after playing just two matches in Italy, drawing 0–0 with Lazio and losing 1–7 to Napoli, and one more match, en route home, a 1–1 draw against RC Paris, which was Ernst Happel's first match for RC Paris.[2]
- A Maccabi XI, composed of the best players affiliated with Maccabi clubs, most of them from Maccabi Tel Aviv, took a tour of England between 21 October and 7 November 1954. Maccabi lost all four matches during the tour, including a 0–10 defeat to Wolves and was criticized heavily for arranging the tour and the pick of its opponents.[3]
- During December 1954 and January 1955, as no league matches were played due to a dispute between Hapoel, Maccabi and Beitar factions in the IFA, Hapoel Tel Aviv organized a league competition for the top Tel Aviv teams, Hapoel, Maccabi, Beitar and Maccabi Jaffa. The competition was played as a double round-robin tournament, with the top placed team winning the cup, named after former Hapoel Tel Aviv treasurer, Yosef Shapira. Maccabi Tel Aviv won four matches and lost two, finishing second.[4]
- In early May 1955, Brazilian team Associação Atlética Portuguesa visited Israeli, playing three matches, the first of which against Maccabi Tel Aviv. The Brazilians beat Maccabi 3–0,[5] and a joint Maccabi-Hapoel team 4–0.[6]
