At the start of the season, the league which started during the previous season was completed, with the club finishing 1st in its division and qualifying to the promotion/relegation play-offs against the 10th and 11th placed clubs in Liga Alef, Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Kfar Saba, and the Liga Bet North winners, Hapoel Kiryat Haim.[1] Maccabi Jaffa topped the play-offs table and was promoted, for the first time in its existence, to the top division.[2]

At the end of the season, the club placed 10th (out of 12) in the league, which meant the club had to face promotion/relegation play-offs against the first placed team from Liga Alef, Hakoah Tel Aviv. Maccabi Jaffa won both play-off matches and stayed in Liga Leumit.[3][4]

gollark: I think we want fairly redundant life support, though the outside atmosphere would be usable if you filter the chlorine out I think.
gollark: Beamed power from the solar/laser arrays somehow?
gollark: Also, the atmosphere has it at 2%, so I'm not sure where you would put it.
gollark: That would probably break the ecosystem.
gollark: Also, I kind of want to do hexagonal buildings.
