Hapoel Holon (Hebrew: הפועל חולון) was an Israeli football club based in Holon. It ceased to exist in 1985 when it merged with Tzafririm Holon to form Hapoel Tzafririm Holon.[1]
History
Founded in 1940, the club was placed in the Tel Aviv Division of Liga Meuhedet following independence in 1949.
The club was promoted to Liga Leumit (then the top division) for the first time in 1970. However, they finished bottom in their first season in the top flight, and were relegated back to Liga Alef. In 1972-73 they narrowly missed out on promotion, finishing as runners-up to Bnei Yehuda. They missed out on promotion by a single place in 1978-79, but were relegated to Liga Alef at the end of the 1980-81 season. They returned to the second division in 1983.
In 1985 the club merged with Liga Alef club Tzafririm Holon to form Hapoel Tzafririm Holon.
