Tai Baribo (Hebrew: תאי בריבו; born 15 January 1998) is an Israeli footballer who plays as a forward for Wolfsberg.

Early life[]

Baribo was born and raised in Eilat,[1] Israel, to a Jewish family.[2][3][4][5][6][7] He explained that the meaning of his unusual first name is a Hebrew acronym for the phrase "The Torah of the Land of Israel".[8] His mother Maya died of cancer when he was 11 years of age, and since then Baribo has decided that his career is dedicated to the memory of her.[8] His father Itzik[9] owns a Water Sports Center in Eilat, Israel, where Baribo was first noticed for his talent as an 11 years old youngster.[8] He is the youngest of three children.[1]

He was enlisted in the Israel Defense Forces as a soldier in 2016,[10] until his honorable discharge in 2019.[11]

Career[]

Baribo started playing football for Hapoel Rishon LeZion. Due to the long distance, he had to get to team training on flights. When he reached the age of 15, he joined to Maccabi Petah Tikva.

On 1 March 2017, Baribo made his senior debut in the 1–2 loss against Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Israel State Cup match.[12]
