Maccabi Tel Aviv

Shimon Mizrahi was appointed chairman of Maccabi in 1969,^[1] in the wake of the club's financial problems. He introduced various strategies to rescue Maccabi from bankruptcy, such as selling tickets for Maccabi games, which had previously been free. Mizrahi realized that in order to secure Maccabi's dominance in the Israeli league, it would have to sign American players. Since he became chairman in 1969 Maccabi has won the Israeli championship in all but five years (1992/93, 2007/08, 2009/10, 2012/13 and 2014/2015 seasons). Maccabi has also won six European cup titles (1977, 1981, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2014).

Mizrahi was accused by his rivals of failing to make the Israeli league more competitive with plans such as payment limits. However, Mizrahi agreed to several laws which were meant to weaken Maccabi, such as the Brisker Rule, which limits the number of foreign players every team can sign, the Final Four playoff system instead of a best-of-five playoff system, and more.
