History

edit

The club was founded in 2003 and joined Liga Gimel Western Galilee (now defunct) in the 2003–04 season,[2] after the previous club from the Old City of Acre, Hapoel Bnei Acre,[1] dissolved after it was last active in the previous season.[3]

In the 2006–07 season, the club won Liga Gimel Upper Galilee division,[4] and were promoted to Liga Bet. In the 2009–10 season, the club won Liga Bet North A division and were promoted to Liga Alef. In their first season in Liga Alef North division, Ahi Acre narrowly avoided the Relegation play-offs, after they finished eleventh. However, in the following season, they finished bottom, after winning only three games and relegated back to Liga Bet, where they play today.
