Review and events

In early May 2014, coach Shimon Edri signed with the club for one season.^[2]
On 13 October 2014, the match away against Hapoel Ramat Gan was abandoned due to power failure.^[3]^[4] The Israel Football Association initially awarded the match to Nazareth Illit, but, after a successful appeal by Ramat Gan, the decision was overturned and the match was ordered to be replayed.^[5]
On 28 January 2015, with the team at the 15th position in the league, Coach Shimon Edri was fired and replaced by Ofer Talker.^[6]
On 22 May 2015, in the last match of the season, the club had beaten Hapoel Rishon LeZion 2–1 to finish the season in the 14th place and avoid relegation.^[7] The club's place meant it had to play a relegation/protmotion play-off matches against Ironi Nesher from Liga Alef.
