The goal of the managers, and especially that of Boaz Toshav, who represents one of the team owners, is to allow as many people with disabilities, especially blindness, as possible to experience the games and attend matches with their guide dogs.
Hapoel Tel Aviv has asked the Israel Football Association and the Bloomfield Stadium administration to approve the unprecedented initiative. If they do, the plan is to implement the changes ahead of the team's upcoming match against Kfar Saba. If successful, 3,000 seats at gates 10 and 11 will be transformed into a special zone for fans with disabilities.
"For now, it is just an idea," one source told Israel Hayom. "We constantly want and think of how to make things better for our people and fans."
Hapoel Tel Aviv has already formed a special team that consists of players with disabilities. The goal of the project is for players to believe they can do everything and to meet with other fans and soccer players.
