Azaria was a reserve on the Maccabi Haifa Israeli championship teams in 2001 and 2002, coached by Avram Grant. Grant would later go on to use a mental programme developed by Azaria in his coaching.[1]

Azaria converted two penalty kicks in an Israeli Cup penalty shootout against Maccabi Petah-Tikva in 2006. Azaria's side Maccabi Herzliya lost 13–12.[2]
