Israeli football clubs in international competitions
Israeli football clubs have competed in international football tournaments since 1967, when Hapoel Tel Aviv played in the inaugural Asian Champion Club Tournament. Israeli clubs Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Tel Aviv competed in all four editions of the Asian Champion Club Tournament before it was discontinued after 1971. The Israel Football Association was excluded from AFC competitions, and Israeli clubs were not invited to take part in the competition when it was renewed as the Asian Club Championship, which is now the AFC Champions League. Between 1976 and 1994, Israeli clubs took part  in the Intertoto Cup, the only international club competition available, as the IFA wasn't affiliated to any confederation. Israel was admitted to UEFA in 1991 and Israeli clubs participated European football tournaments since 1992, when Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Petah Tikva played in the Champions League and the Cup Winners' Cup (respectively). Since 1992, Israeli clubs took part in the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Intertoto Cup. Intertoto Cup (1976–1994). Israeli teams first appeared in the Intertoto Cup in 1976, with Hapoel Be'er Sheva and Beitar Jerusalem, champions and  runners-up in the previous season, debuting. In 1979, due to the cost of travelling to Europe, only one team, Maccabi Netanya was entered into the competition, and between 1980 and 1992 the two Israeli entrants played in one group to reduce travelling expenses. In 1993 and 1994, as the format of the competition was changed to allow participating teams to play only two away matches, Israeli teams were allocated to two different groups. Full European record. Israeli clubs have participated in UEFA tournaments since 1992–93. Maccabi Haifa, Maccabi Tel Aviv (both twice) and Hapoel Tel Aviv had managed to  qualify to the Champions League group stage. The same clubs, along with Maccabi Petah Tikva and Ironi Kiryat Shmona qualified to the UEFA Cup/Europa League group stage. The furthest any club reached in a European tournament was the quarter-finals, reached by Maccabi Haifa in 1998–99 and by Hapoel Tel Aviv in 2001–02. Performance table. Notes:
