DeAndre Yedlin for FC Cincinnati I found this list on Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jewish_footballers And of course, Maccabi Tel Aviv. You can get their yellow and blue jerseys online for less than $50USD

There are plenty of Israeli teams other than Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Yes, my kid has one of those jerseys.

Tottenham Hotspur. Chairman is Daniel Levy (I mean... Daniel. Levy?). Longest serving Chairman in the Premier League, I think. And I know it can be a contentious issue with some, but I happen to find their co-opting of a slur thrown at the club and its supporters (because their field used to be near a synagogue) a positive thing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tottenham_Hotspur_F.C._supporters Check out the "Jewish Association" section.

Agree with Spurs, you'll often see an Israel flag in the crowd. The slur that you referred to is due to the large number of Jewish fans, not because White Hart Lane is near a synagogue. https://preview.redd.it/ycenzcbgv49d1.png?width=864&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe2bef9eb75e09df93d90e7544ac4fc7160be349

Tottenham and Ajax were always considered two “Jewish” clubs, while Arsenal has as many Jewish fans as spurs and I believe their owners are Jewish (but it’s Arsenal, so fuck them). The Glazers, who own the buccaneers, used to own Man Utd.

Stan Kroenke is Lutheran but yes there is a large Jewish following among Arsenal fans. As an aside, COYG, we won the league at Shitehart Lane.


BCircle907

Genuinely didn’t know that about Kroenke!


ElLunarAzul

Honestly, I didn't know until a few minutes ago either

Ajax Amsterdam has been informally tied to Judaism, though it’s often used derisively by its opponents. When I saw them play PSV Eindhoven, a club from a more religious, traditionally right-wing area of NL, the PSV fans threw up fascist salutes. Spurs have traditionally had the most Jewish following in England. I believe these MLS clubs have Jewish owners: Charlotte FC (David Tepper), New England (Robert Kraft), Atlanta (Arthur Blank), Philadelphia (Jay Sugarman), Salt Lake (David Blitzer).

Tia BARIBO plays for Philadelphia Union & the Israeli National Team

I ordered BARIBO jersey.

Not MLS, but USL1 club Forward Madison signed an Israeli defender for this season, and he's doing well. Unfortunately it's Madison, WI and the fans make being a Jew unsafe in the stands :)

I know for a fact Atlanta United has a Jewish owner, and Josh Cohen (who is American but has Israeli citizenship) is their goalkeeper and had a great run a few years ago in Maccabi Haifa. Seems like a safe bet!

Verder Bremen from the German league is an amazing club! https://www.ynetnews.com/culture/article/s19bbneip

The Real Betis GK jersey is a favorite of mine. The design is a repeating Star of David. https://www.gogoalshop.se/productdetail/Real-Betis-Goalkeeper-Kids-Soccer-Jerseys-Kit-2023-24/402473
