Beitar Ramla (Hebrew: בית"ר רמלה) was an Israeli football club based in Ramla.
The club spent several seasons in Liga Artzit (then the second division) in the early 1970s and the 1980s, but was relegated to Liga Alef towards the end of the decade.
The club withdrew from the league fifteen matches into the 1998-99 season. Their results were expunged and all matches awarded as 2-0 wins to the opposition.[1] As a result, the club finished bottom of the league with zero points, and were due to be relegated to Liga Bet for the 1999-2000 season. However, the Israel Football Association suspended them from playing, and they did not compete in the league.[2]
At the start of 2000 the club merged with Maccabi Ramla to form a new club, Ironi Ramla.
