The club was founded in 1971 and started playing in the regional leagues, which were not affiliated with the Israel Football Association and mostly involved football clubs from other kibbutzim. In 1995 the club joined the Israel Football Association and started at the Liga Gimelbay division. In the 1999–2000 season, the club finished runners-up in Liga Gimel Jezreel division[1] and were promoted to Liga Bet for the first time in their history, after one spot was vacated in that league, following the merger between Hapoel Kiryat Shmona (played in Liga Alef) and Maccabi Kiryat Shmona (played in Liga Bet), which became Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona.
The club relegated back to Liga Gimel after they finished bottom in Liga Bet North A division in the 2001–02 season and remained in Liga Gimel until the 2007–08 season, where they finished runners-up and were promoted to Liga Bet as the best runners-up in Liga Gimel North divisions, once again after one spot was vacated, this time after Maccabi Tur'an were folded.
