Hapoel Gilboa Galil (Hebrew: הפועל גלבוע גליל) is a professional basketball club that is based in north-east Israel. The club plays its home game in the Israeli Basketball Premier League (the top tier of Israeli basketball) in a 2,250-seat arena in Gan Ner.
History
The club was founded in 2008 after Hapoel Gilboa (which had previously been merged with Hapoel Afula, which regained its independence) receive the top-division license in the Israeli Basketball Premier League of Hapoel Galil Elyon.
Initially it was believed to be a merger agreement, as they originally planned to play 70% of the club's home domestic league games at Gan Ner Sports Hall in Gan Ner (a village of 2,700 people near Mount Gilboa, in the Galilee in northern Israel) and 30% of their home domestic league games in Hapoel Galil Elyon's arena in Kfar Blum. But the agreement never came to fruition as Hapoel Galil Elyon rejected the merger, and all of the club's home domestic league games were played in Gan Ner, essentially making them a new team. Galil Elyon was re-established in 2009, as a lower-division team.
In May 2010, Hapoel Gilboa Galil won the Israeli Championship, after defeating defending champions Maccabi Tel Aviv by a score of 90–77 in the finals of the playoffs.
In the summer of 2018, the club had financial difficulties, and a large part of it was purchased by fans.
Galil Gilboa werd in 1998 opgericht door de fusie van twee plaatselijke teams, Hapoel Gilboa en Ironi Kiryat Ata. Het team heeft sindsdien een rijke geschiedenis opgebouwd, met het winnen van drie nationale kampioenschappen (1999, 2009 en 2011) en vijf bekertitels (1999, 2000, 2007, 2009 en 2010).
Galil Gilboa staat bekend om zijn sterke verdediging en snel, aanvallend spel. Het team heeft een aantal talentvolle spelers in de selectie, waaronder de Israëlische internationals Yogev Ohayon en Eitan Etzion.
In het seizoen 2022-23 neemt Galil Gilboa deel aan de Israëlische Superliga, de FIBA Europe Cup en de Israëlische Beker.
