Hapoel Beit Dagan F.C. (Hebrew: הפועל בית דגן), also called Hapoel Beit Dagon, after the name of the biblical Beit Dagon,[1] was a football club from Beit Dagan, Israel.

History

The club was established in 1949, and entered the second division,[2] finishing ninth in the Jerusalem-South division. For the 1953–54 season, the club played in a regional Hapoel league, rather in Liga Gimel[3] and rejoined the IFA league system for the 1954–55 season.[4] The club remained in Liga Gimel, which became fourth division in 1956, until the end of the 1963–64 season, after which the club folded.
