Playing career

Konstantini rose up the ranks of Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv, finding great success with the U19 squad in particular.[2] He was called up to the senior squad for the 2014–15 season; they were playing in the second-tier Liga Leumit at the time. He made his senior debut on March 13, 2015, coming on for Ness Zamir in the 70th minute of a 2-1 win against Ironi Tiberias.[3] He made three more appearances that season, while Bnei Yehuda finished first in the league (earning promotion to the Premier League). Konstantini then made his Premier League debut on September 12, 2015, playing the first 70 minutes of a 3-1 loss against Maccabi Petah Tikva.[4]

In January 2013, Konstantini was invited by coach Alon Hazan to train with the Israel national under-17 team.[5]
