Maccabi Kiryat Gat F.C. (Hebrew: מכבי קריית גת) is an Israeli football team based in the southern city of Kiryat Gat. To date, the club's best achievement has been promotion to Ligat ha'Al (the Israeli Premier League) as Liga Leumit runners-up in 2001, after holding their nerve to beat Hapoel Beit She'an on the final day of the season. However, in their first season in the top division, they finished bottom of the table, six points from safety, and were relegated back to the second tier.
As a result of the overspending whilst in the top division, the club suffered financial difficulties, and were demoted to the fourth division by the IFA in 2004, where they remain today.
