Hapoel T-A FC fans massive rally - photo story.

avatar

I have never crossed the line of the football stadium. Only once in my life i watched the whole football game. It was the final game of the 2022 World Cup – the historic match between Argentina and France. But my post today is not about the football, even sure there is some strong indirect connection.

At the weekend, somewhere around lunchtime, i decided to drive to Uganda Bar TLV, famous for its hummus, which Maxim prepares only twice a week. For sure, I was not disappointed that day either and spent in the bar around hour with an amazing food and an IPA beer, enjoyed reading recent posts of my WordPress subscriptions. When i finished and left the bar, Suddenly i found myself surrounded by thousands of people dressed in red. For my luck, the Hapoel’s football club fans came to the park near the bar for the gathering and subsequent rally towards the stadium. The timing was amazing for me. I had some free time and, as usual, I had my camera with me.

A few words about this club. The club name, “Hapoel”, translates to “The Worker”, and combined with its red Hammer and sickle badge represents the club ties to Marxism, socialism, Labor Zionism, and the working class. For seven decades, the club was owned by the Histadrut, Israel’s national trade union center. (ref. WIKI)

In conclusion – football is not my religion, but this walk with thousands heated fans was an amazing anthropological experience and the observation of the human nature, which always was and be the most exciting topic for my photography practice.

Hello brother Jesus ! You're one of the friends here, because of whom I sometimes come back to see if everything is going well with them! Glad to hear from you.
I'm doing ok, very busy at work and life. The situation here is still very tough without much changes, just there are no missiles right now and this already makes me happy. What will be tomorrow - will be tomorrow :-)))
As i said, i photographed this rally by occasion, felt very uncomfortable, but kinda happy to be inside this crazy stream for about hour and something. Was worth every single moment, even I received threats that they don't like it when these events are photographed.
I hope that everything is cool at your side and you continue documenting the life of your living town. Going to check your recent posts right now :-) a huge hug back to you !
