Maccabi Nujeidat Ahmed
Club · Israel · Liga Alef
Bu'eine Nujeidat sits in Liga Bet North B this season after relegation from Liga Alef North.
The drop followed two seasons of scraping by. In 2023–24 a 1–0 win over Tzeirey Taibe in the relegation playoff kept them in Liga Alef North after a 14th-place finish; a year later, 15th was not enough to escape again, and the team went down.
The club itself only exists because an earlier one, Hapoel Bnei Nujeidat, folded. When it was rebuilt in 2016, it took the name of Ahmad Nujeidat, a local soldier killed in a car accident, rather than any of the town's previous football identities. Promotion followed almost immediately: the new side won Liga Bet North B in its first season, 2016–17, and went up to Liga Alef.
Issa Nujeidat has run the team through this rise and fall, a local figure whose name recurs through much of the club's short history. On the pitch, players such as Hassan Mnayeh and Anwar Murad have carried the side through its recent Liga Alef campaigns.
Matches are played at the New Nujeidat Stadium, a 1,000-seat ground with natural grass and floodlights that opened only in 2022. The shirts are blue, with a yellow-and-black away kit.
