Maccabi Haifa Basketball Club ((ヘブライ語:מכבי חיפה)) is a professional Israeli basketball club that belongs to the Maccabi Haifa association. ==History== Maccabi Haifa is one of the oldest basketball teams in Israel and is one of the original eight teams that formed the top division in 1953.〔(U.S. billionaire aims to turn pet team into a powerhouse ) Haaretz, 21 May 2008〕 In 1971 and 1985, the club qualified for the State Cup finals losing to Maccabi Tel Aviv in both years. The club was relegated to the second division in 1993, and dropped into the third tier in 1995. They returned to the top tier, Ligat HaAl, in 1999. Despite their recent success, in 2000, Haifa mayor Amram Mitzna merged the club with Hapoel Haifa to form BC Haifa.〔 Although the club qualified for the playoffs twice, they began to experience financial difficulties. Upon relegation the club folded and sold its rights to Bnei HaSharon. In 2004 Maccabi Haifa officials changed the name of the second team under its control, Maccabi Bat Galim, to Maccabi Haifa in an effort to restore the club's glory days.〔(Basketball / American billionaire buys Maccabi Haifa ) ''Haaretz'', 21 July 2007〕 The following season, the club was promoted to the northern division. In 2007 they were promoted to Liga Leumit under the leadership of the coach Tobi Slilat. After the club was promoted, Avi Ashkenazi (who had coached the team in 1995) was reappointed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maccabi Haifa B.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
