Hapoel Afula (Hebrew: הפועל עפולה) is a basketball club based in Afula, Israel. It currently plays in the Israeli Basketball Premier League.
History
The club was established in 1968, and was a member of the top division during the 1970s and 1980s. A decline saw the club merge with Hapoel Gilboa to form Hapoel Gilboa/Afula. The merged club played in the top division until 2008, when they were relegated after finishing bottom.
In June 2008 the merged club was disbanded, and Hapoel Afula became an independent club again (while Hapoel Gilboa would receive the top-division license of Hapoel Galil Elyon to form a new team, Hapoel Gilboa Galil). In their first season, Afula won the Liga Leumit play-off against Hapoel Lev HaSharon 3-1, and returned to the top division.
After one season, the group returned to the second division because the management could not arrange a suitable budget.
Hapoel Gilboa/Afula ble stiftet i 1990 som en sammenslåing av to mindre klubber, Hapoel Afula og Hapoel Gilboa. Laget har siden vært en gjenganger i den israelske Premier League, og har flere ganger kvalifisert seg til europeisk konkurranse.
I 2017 vant Hapoel Gilboa/Afula sitt tredje nasjonale mesterskap ved å beseire Maccabi Haifa i finalen. Laget har også vunnet tre nasjonale cuper, i 2003, 2005 og 2011.
Hapoel Gilboa/Afula spiller sine hjemmekamper i Gan Ner Sports Hall, som har en kapasitet på 2 500 tilskuere.
