History

The club was founded in 1975 and reached Liga Bet for the first time in the 1984–85 season. In the 1986–87 season the club won Liga Bet North B division and achieved promotion to Liga Alef after the 23rd match, when they won 3–1 against Hapoel Givat Olga.[1] thus, Maccabi Isfiya became the first Druze football club which was promoted to Liga Alef.[2] Their main rivals at the time were Hapoel Daliyat al-Karmel.[2]

The club played 14 seasons in Liga Alef, until relegation in the 2000–01 season. The club folded at the end of the 2002–03 season while playing in Liga Bet.[2]

The club was refounded in 2012 and currently plays in Liga Gimel Jezreel division.[3]
