In June 2020, Eliezer Sherbatov, captain of Israel national team, signed a one-year contract with the team, which plays just a short walk from the site of the Auschwitz concentration camp, where one million Jewish people were killed during the Holocaust.[2] Sherbatov said, "I have a great deal of motivation because it is Auschwitz. I want to win the championship, the Polish Cup and the continental title, and then everyone will know the one who did this is a Jewish–Israeli."[2] His father told him "to work hard, to show his lion’s heart, and to be proud of Israel and show people we are still alive."[3]
