Ben Azubel (he|ืื ืื'ืืื; born 19 September 1993) is an Israeli professional footballer who plays as a forward for Ironi Modi'in.
Azubel started his football career with the Israeli youth teams of Maccabi Petah Tikva, Maccabi Tel Aviv, Maccabi Haifa, and Hapoel Kfar Saba.
In September 2011, Azubel was promoted to the senior team of Hapoel Kfar Saba and played two years at the club.[1]
During the 2013โ14 Liga Leumit season, Azubel scored 14 goals for Hakoah Amidar Ramat Gan.
Azubel joined Hapoel Nir Ramat HaSharon ahead of the 2014โ15 Liga Leumit season.[2] During the season, he scored eight goals, one of them being scored against his former club Hapoel Kfar Saba which he celebrated by pretending to fire guns, later saying that the fans insulted and his family.[3] In May 2015, Azubel attracted interest from Israel Premier League giants Beitar Jerusalem.[4]
In July 2015, Azubel joined Hapoel Petah Tikva after their relegation to the Liga Leumit, signing a one-year contract with an option for an extra year.[5] He was a notable player of the club, scoring 15 times in 36 games during the 2015โ16 Liga Leumit season.
After trialling with Beitar Jerusalem, including making an appearance in the 2016โ17 Toto Cup Al, Azubel went overseas and became the first Israeli player to join an Albanian club when he signed with Partizani Tirana.[6] He played seven league games for the club in which he scored one goal,[1] and scored 4 goals in 4 cup games.
After scoring 37 goals in 3 Liga Leumit seasons, and following a stint overseas in Albania, Azubel returned to Israel and signed with Israel Premier League club Hapoel Ashkelon in December 2016.[7]
Following an unsuccessful season with Hapoel Ashkelon, in summer 2017, Azubel signed with Hapoel Acre on a three-year contract.[8] He finished the 2017โ18 Israeli Premier League season with eight goals, but could not prevent the club's relegation.[1]
In August 2018, Azubel was courted by Maccabi Petah Tikva, but in the end joined Hapoel Haifa on a loan contract containing a buying option at the end of the season worth 600,000 shekel.[9] [10] At the end of the season, Hapoel Haifa decided not to buy Azubel, but he continued training with them which angered his parent club Hapoel Acre due to them not giving him permission to do so.[11]
In August 2019, Azubel joined Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv on a two-year deal.[12]
In October 2020, after impressing at training, Azubel joined Maccabi Netanya on a one-year contract with an extra three-year option.[13] During the 2020โ21 Israeli Premier League, he made 17 appearances, scoring only one goal.
In July 2021, Azubel joined Liga Leumit club Hapoel Ra'anana, together with defender Liad Elmaliach.[14] During the 2021โ22 Liga Leumit season, he scored 16 goals in 31 appearances and finished third top goalscorer of the competition. Despite this, the club finished the regular season in 15th place and were later relegated to Liga Alef.[15] Following the season, Hapoel Ra'anana signed Azubel on a contract extension.[16]
Despite being contracted at Hapoel Ra'anana, in July 2022, Azubel went overseas a second time and signed a two-year contract with Australian A-League Men club Perth Glory.[17] [18]
Azubel left Perth Glory after making just 6 appearances for the club and signed for Thai club BG Pathum United.[19] [20]
In November 2011, Azubel debuted for the Israel national under-19 team, playing all three games of their 2012 UEFA European Championship first qualifying phase against Czech Republic, Serbia, and Lithuania and scoring in the victory against Czech Republic.[21] [22] [23] In February 2012, he played and scored in a 1โ1 friendly match draw with Italy at Acre Municipal Stadium.[24] A few months later, he played in a pair of friendly match losses to Romania[25] before playing in all three matches of Israel's 2012 UEFA European Championship second qualifying phase against Ukraine,[26] Portugal,[27] and Ireland.[28]
Azubel was born in the Israeli town Ganei Tikva.[17]
