Maccabi Ramat Amidar (Hebrew: מכבי רמת עמידר‎) was an Israeli football club based in Ramat Gan. The club spent several seasons in the top division in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but in 2005 merged into Hakoah Ramat Gan, which became Hakoah Amidar Maccabi Ramat Gan.

History

In 1975 the club was promoted to Liga Leumit (then the top division) for the first time. However, in their first season in the league, they finished bottom and were relegated back to the second tier. In 1978-79 they finished as runners-up to Hakoah Ramat Gan and were promoted again. After an 11th-placed finish in 1979-80 (a season in which they reached the cup final for the first (and only) time, losing 4-1 to Hapoel Kfar Saba), they finished second from bottom in 1980-81 and were relegated back to Liga Artzit.

At the end of the 1982-83 season they finished third in Liga Artzit and were promoted back to the top division. However, they were relegated again at the end of the following season. By the end of the 1990s the club had been relegated into the third tier, and due to league restructuring, dropped into the fourth tier in 1999.

In 2002 they won the South Division of Liga Alef to return to the third division. The following season they finished third, a place below the promotion positions. At the end of the 2004-05 season the club left the league and merged into Hakoah Ramat Gan.
