Eylon Almog

Almog spent eight years in Maccabi Tel Aviv’s youth department and made his Toto Cup debut for the club at age 17, playing alongside Barak Itzhaki.[5] In March 2019, while on loan at Hapoel Hadera, he was also serving in the Israel Home Front Command in Ramla.[5]

While on loan from Maccabi Tel Aviv to Hapoel Hadera, Almog scored on his Israeli Premier League debut, heading in Dia Lababidi’s cross in the 18th minute of a 3–2 victory over Ashdod.[6] Afterward, he said: “It's a great feeling and I didn't expect such a debut. I'm really happy to have come to such a wonderful place.”[6] He hoped to become a dominant player at Hadera and help the team reach the championship playoffs.[6]

Almog subsequently supplied two assists against Maccabi Netanya in a match that secured Hadera’s place in the upper playoff.[5] Hadera led 2–0 at halftime before drawing 2–2, and Almog later said his contribution had shown him that he could handle pressure.[5]

In March 2019, Almog discussed a proposed move to Beitar Jerusalem that did not go through. He said he was excited by the interest but not disappointed, because he wanted to return to Maccabi after his Hadera loan.[5]

He was part of Maccabi Tel Aviv’s 2019/20 championship-winning team.[1] For that season, he was named ONE’s Israeli Premier League Discovery of the Season in a poll combining votes from supporters, league players and coaches.[2] His 44.8% share of the combined vote included 49% of the public vote, support from five of the league’s 14 coaches and 83 of the 186 player votes.[2]

In the first leg of Maccabi’s 2020 Champions League playoff against Red Bull Salzburg, Almog played up front alongside Dan Bitton.[7] More than half of Maccabi’s usual starters were unavailable after contracting coronavirus, leaving the club with a makeshift lineup.[7] Almog supplied the pass from midfield for Bitton’s early goal, but Salzburg won 2–1.[7]

In August 2022, Almog joined Austrian club TSV Hartberg on a one-season loan from Maccabi Tel Aviv, without a purchase option.[8] He described playing abroad as a childhood dream and said he wanted regular playing time, goals and assists to demonstrate his best form.[8] He said his decision to leave on loan had been made before Ivic returned to Maccabi and was not directed at the coach.[8]

Looking back on the preceding season, Almog said he had recorded six goals and seven assists in all competitions despite limited playing time.[8] He recalled regaining a coach’s confidence through four consecutive starts and linked his earlier breakthrough season under Ivic to his Discovery of the Season award.[8]

Almog joined Hapoel Be’er Sheva in September 2023 on a four-year contract, following a €600,000 transfer from Maccabi Tel Aviv.[3][9] Roughly three months after joining, he suffered a cruciate ligament tear after coming on against his former club, Maccabi Tel Aviv.[10] He underwent surgery in late December 2023 and returned to play about ten months later.[10] In December 2024, he dislocated his shoulder during training and was expected to miss further time.[10]

Be’er Sheva exercised an option extending his contract through the end of the 2026/27 season.[9] At the time of the extension report, he had made one league appearance that season, playing eight minutes as he returned from his prolonged injury.[9]

In January 2025, Almog joined Hapoel Jerusalem on loan through the end of the season.[11] His recorded career totals at that point were 30 goals and 19 assists.[11] He said he hoped to help Jerusalem return to form and reach the upper playoff.[11]

Almog scored seven goals during the Jerusalem loan.[3] In his final match, he opened the scoring in the tenth minute of a 4–2 victory over Hapoel Hadera.[12] Reflecting on the spell, he said the club and coach Ziv Arie had believed in him, acknowledged that he had missed chances and expressed his hope of returning to Be’er Sheva to play and contribute.[12]

In July 2025, Almog scored the winner in Hapoel Be’er Sheva’s 2–1 Super Cup victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv, finishing after being set up by Zahi Ahmad.[4] Be’er Sheva won the Aluf HaAlufim, or Champions of Champions, title at Bloomfield despite being reduced to ten players in the 16th minute.[13] Almog did not celebrate his goal against his former club and was named the game’s most valuable player.[4][13] After the victory, he said: “I appreciate every moment on the field – I appreciated it before the injury and I appreciate it even more after.”[4]

That month, Be’er Sheva was eliminated by Levski Sofia in the first qualifying round of the Europa League after a 1–1 aggregate tie went to penalties.[14] Almog missed Be’er Sheva’s first penalty, and Kings Kangwa and Alon Turgeman also missed as Sofia won the shootout 3–1.[14]

In February 2026, Almog moved to M.S. Ashdod through the end of the season.[3][1] Before the move, he had made 11 league appearances that season without a goal or assist, and 16 appearances in all competitions with one goal—the Super Cup winner against Maccabi Tel Aviv.[3] He finished his Ashdod loan with one goal in eight appearances during the 2025/26 season.[1]

In September 2026, Almog signed for Maccabi Netanya for one season, with an option for an additional season.[1] In November, he scored Netanya’s fourth goal in a 4–0 victory over Maccabi Haifa, completing a sequence of four second-half goals.[15] Maccabi Haifa coach Barak Bachar resigned after the defeat.[15]
