Maccabi Ironi Acre (Hebrew: מכבי עירוני עכו) is an Israeli football club based in Acre. The club is currently in Liga Bet North A division and play at the Acre Municipal Stadium.
History
[edit]The club was founded in 2008 and is distinct from the club formerly known as Maccabi Acre, which relocated to Kiryat Ata eight years earlier[1] and renamed to Maccabi Ironi Kiryat Ata.
In their first season of existence, the club finished runners-up in Liga Gimel Upper Galilee division,[2] and were promoted to Liga Bet, where they play since.
The club's best placing to date came at the 2014–15 season, when they finished third in Liga Bet North A division and qualified for the Promotion play-offs, where they beat Ahi Acre in a local derby by a result of 2–1 and Ironi Bnei Kabul by a result of 2–0, and advanced to the regional final, where they lost 2–4 to Hapoel Iksal.
