Biography
Formation and Early Years
F.C. Ashdod, officially known as Moadon Sport Ashdod, was formed in 1999 through the merger of two rival clubs, Hapoel Ashdod and Maccabi Ironi Ashdod. Initially, the club donned a completely blue kit, but this changed to red and yellow when Israeli footballer Haim Revivo became a key player, reflecting the colors of the original clubs.
Achievements and Challenges
In its early years, F.C. Ashdod struggled to find success and attract fan support. However, the club experienced a significant breakthrough during the 2004–05 season, achieving a third-place finish in the Israeli Premier League, which earned them a spot in the UEFA Cup. They also reached the final of the Israeli Toto Cup but lost in a penalty shootout. Their debut in European competition was less successful, as they were eliminated by NK Domžale from Slovenia.
Recent Developments
In the lead-up to the 2014–15 season, the club added "Ironi" to its name, but this decision led to controversy and a dispute with fans. Following a disappointing match against Maccabi Netanya, the chairman decided to rename the club to Hapoel Ashdod and revert to red shirts, despite warnings from the Israel Football Association about the legality of such changes mid-season. This decision resulted in disciplinary actions against the club, including a six-point deduction from FIFA.

Career & Clubs
During the club's first years, its kit colors were completely blue. However, when Israeli footballer Haim Revivo took a more prominent role in the club, the colors were changed to red and yellow.

The club was not immediately successful after the merger, and fan support was lacking. During the 2004–05 season, they reached their greatest achievement, a third-place finish in the Israeli Premier League and a berth in the UEFA Cup. The club also reached the final of the Israeli Toto Cup, only to go out on penalty kicks. Their first time in a continental competition was not a memorable one, as they went out to the Slovenian PrvaLiga runners-up, NK Domžale. Prior to the 2014–15 season, the club added Ironi to its name. However, following a dispute with fans of the previous club, Maccabi Ironi Ashdod, during the 2–3 defeat against Maccabi Netanya in the last match of the regular season, the club's chairman, Jacky Ben-Zaken, decided to rename the club to Hapoel Ashdod and to play in red shirts. Despite warnings from the Israel Football Association, which informed the club that such changes during season are illegal, Ashdod did show up for their next match, which opened the Bottom playoff, against Hapoel Ra'anana in red shirts, with the caption "F.C. Hapoel Ashdod", and was eventually disciplined. Furthermore, the club was punished by FIFA with six points…
