- To replace the folded Hapoel F.C. Karmiel Safed, Tzeirei Tamra was promoted from Liga Gimel, as the best second-placed team in the northern divisions.[1]
- In December 2016, the IFA was ordered to demote Maccabi Umm al-Fahm to Liga Gimel by FIFA due to an unpaid debt.[2] The club, which finished 11th in North B division was demoted at the end of the season and was replaced initially by Maccabi Ironi Tamra, the second best second-placed team in the northern divisions of Liga Gimel.[3] However, an appeal was lodged by Beitar Pardes Hanna, which was the best second-placed team in the Liga Gimel division which promote to North B division, claiming that only teams from the Jezre'el and Samaria division should be considered for promotion as replacement to Maccabi Umm al-Fahm. The IFA Supreme Court accepted the appeal and Promoted Beitar Pardes Hanna to Liga Bet.[4][5]
- During the summer the merger between Maccabi Ironi Acre and Hapoel Kiryat Yam broke up, leading Hapoel Kiryat Yam to register the club in Liga Gimel. Maccabi Ironi Acre then merged with Maccabi Sektzia Ma'alot-Tarshiha, effectively reprieving Sektzia Ma'alot from relegation.[6]
Format changes
edit- The IFA introduced promotion/relegations playoffs between Liga Bet and Liga Gimel. As a result, The two bottom club of each Liga Bet division will relegate directly to Liga Gimel, while the 13th placed and 14th placed teams in each division will face each other in one match. The losing team will face the Liga Gimel play-off winner in a single match for a spot in Liga Bet.[7]
