Hapoel Nazareth Ilit - Maccabi Ahi Nazareth

We had said two or three conversations about the original Nazareth and her team, Achie Nazareth. Nazareth is the largest and most pure Arab city in Israel. For many centuries, Nazareth had its designation of origin, but in 1957, the Israeli authorities decided to build another city right next to it, so that the other would not be alone. They named it Nazareth Ilit (= Upper Nazareth) and settled it with Jews from the former Soviet Union, South America and young homeless couples. The Arabs had reacted then, but their voices did not take place. Nor, of course, did the complaints made by the K.K.I. that the settlement of Pano Nazareth was a plan of the government to take the majority in the Northern District, which was traditionally held by the Communists. We can therefore imagine the feelings that men have for them, as well as the climate that prevails when the teams of the two cities are confronted. "It's a game and nothing more," said Gill Baram, president of Ilitt, urging calm and restraint to those who go to the stadium today.

Both of them are in the middle of the scoring with 18b, with the winner approaching the four-point climb positions. In the prehistory, Oriental Nazareth (6-5-4) has a slight lead, which has never lost to its headquarters, while in Pano Nazareth, in six games, it has two wins and four defeats. This year, Ahi intends high and, according to the Mayor, "If not this year, we will be playing in the big category by the time!" I say to support the Arabs today because, despite the tie, they have a better team than the Jews, and they are still in such a match, they are a little patriotic.
