History[]

The club was formed in 2002 by a merger of two city rivals from Kafr Qasim, Hapoel Kafr Qasim and Maccabi Kafr Qasim. In the new club's first season, they won the 2002–03 Liga Bet South A division, and were promoted to Liga Alef,[1] where they spent three seasons, up until relegation in the 2005–06 season.

In the 2012–13 season, the club finished runners-up in Liga Bet South A division and qualified to the promotion play-offs.[2] After four successful promotion play-offs matches against F.C. Bnei Jaffa Ortodoxim, Hapoel Bik'at HaYarden, F.C. Shikun HaMizrah and Hapoel Arad, the club won promotion to Liga Alef, exactly ten years after they did so in the previous time.[3]

Kafr Qasim finished the 2013–14 season in Liga Alef South in the sixth place, four points short of the promotion play-offs.
