Muhammad Abu Fani, Eran Zahavi and Maccabi Petah Tikva players celebrating (Omari Stein, Oren Ben Hakon)
Round 8 of the State Cup has come to an end and it can already be determined that there will be a new cup holder, after Hapoel Beer Sheva was eliminated with a 2:1 loss to MS Ashdod. No fewer than five teams from the Premier League were already eliminated in the early round, leaving the top league with only nine representatives, while the National League has seven representatives and for the first time in six years, there is not a single representative for League A and below in the 16 major leagues.
The teams that advanced to the round of 16 of the State Cup:
Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Maccabi Haifa.
Beitar Jerusalem.
MS Ashdod.
Maccabi Netanya.
Bnei Sakhnin.
Hapoel Haifa.
Reina’s sons.
Ness Ziona section.
Macabi Petach-Tikva.
Hapoel Kfar Saba.
Urban Tiberias.
Hapoel Petah Tikva.
Brother Nazareth.
Hapoel Ramat Hasharon.
Hapoel Afula.
The draw for the round of 16 will be held today (Tuesday) at 12:45, when a possible meeting between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa is still possible. In any case, at least two of the Premier League teams will meet each other to fight for the top league title. The games will be played between the dates 3-5.1.23.
