Abubakar Dumbia Jr. signed for a season and a half today at Maccabi Netanya, with an option for three more seasons, through his agent Adv. -21 comes for free from the KPV team from the second league in Finland thanks to the release clause he held against the club.
Domvia, who is considered an extreme left-hander, able to play both on the left and under the striker, scored 6 goals in 17 games in Finland. Also, in the ranks of the Ivory Coast team up to the age of 23, in the media he made 4 appearances (he also played in the team up to the age of 20), he won the African Championship final for young teams against Egypt. He grew up in SOA in his homeland.
And while the Premier League teams are waiting for developments and a bit of a freeze on the yeast when it comes to foreign strengthening, in Netanya they found a creative solution and managed to land the ivory during the closure of the third corona. The player, who was supposed to arrive in Israel last week if Ben-Gurion Airport had not closed, arrived in Israel together with the city of Ness Ziona in basketball, which finished second at home in the “bubble” in Poland in the EuroCup. He actually flew from Finland to Poland and there joined Ness Ziona, on his way to the private jet and to Israel.
Now, he joins the foreign team of Maccabi Netanya, which includes six, including Fernand Guri, another ivory, pioneer of the youth team who went up to the senior team to reinforce the training and has already received two chances in the Premier League. If all goes as planned, he will make way for a foreign brake, which will replace the released Akinsola Akinsima.
Meanwhile, Maccabi Netanya continues to dilute its staff at the same time, when, as first reported, it officially loaned Golan Alexelsi to Hapoel Kfar Shalem today, when he signed the contract through his agent Assaf Vaknin. Alexelsi, who was acquired by Netanya from Ramat Hasharon when the Diamonds returned to the Premier League and was marked as the team’s next goalkeeper, was loaned to Afula last season and meanwhile Raz Carmi became Danny Amos’ second goalkeeper and his path was paved outside Netanya.
After several attempts to find him a team last summer, Alexis will return to the national team and strengthen Kfar Shalem for at least half the season. This, not before he received a draft contract last week, finally rejected the offer after he refused to give up part of his salary, then compromised, when both Netanya and Kfar Shalem financed a little more for the deal, he managed to get sick in Corona and recover. In the summer, he will return to Diamond City for his final season on contract, and is expected to look for another destination, possibly even on release rather than on loan.
In another matter, Maccabi Netanya is collaborating with the “Home Ground” association, which was established out of a desire to offer “other” therapeutic-rehabilitative work with the homeless, when the connection to this population is established through sports, as a therapeutic tool. Last week, team captain Almog Cohen and goalkeeper Danny Amos were hosted for an exciting zoom meeting with the association’s team players from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Cohen spoke at length with the Jerusalem team’s players about religious matters, difficulties during his career and growing up abroad at a young age, about returning home to Maccabi Netanya, and even on top of Kanikovsky, With the “Home Ground” team in Tel Aviv and talked with the players about the difficulties in maintaining a routine during the Corona period, about the community and social commitment of football players, and more.
