Well the three Israeli representatives got drawn for the UEFA Cup first round today.
Maccabi Haifa vs. Publikom (Slovakia)
Hapoel Ramat Gan vs. Levski Sofia (Bulgaria)
Gaziantepspor (Turkey) vs. Hapoel Tel-Aviv
Haifa and Ramat Gan open their campaigns at "home" meanwhile Tel-Aviv will travel to Turkey. Tel-Aviv shouldn't seem worried, In 2001/02 Hapoel Tel-Aviv beat Gaziantepspor in the UEFA Cup to move on to play Chelsea. After which they progressed on to defeat Parma. The were unfortunately stopped short of their dream after Shimon Gershon scored an own goal giving AC Milan a 3-2 aggregate victory. Gaziantepspor is currently in 16th place after three rounds of Turkish Super Lig play, with just one point.
Hapoel Ramat Gan should have their arms tied up for them. The second division side certainly has their work cut out for them.
