History
Hapoel Asi Gilboa founded in 1994 by David Daniel, in honour of his nephew, Asi Daniel, which fell during his line of duty. previously, the club played in regional leagues as Asi Ta'anakh.
With the support of the Gilboa head of regional council, Dani Atar, who supports the club up to date, the club made a progresss by winning Liga Gimel Samaria division in 1997, and promotion to Liga Bet. in 2001, the club won the Liga Bet North B division and was promoted to Liga Alef, where the club play today.
In recent years, the club battles for promotion to Liga Leumit, and in the 2011-12 season, the club won Liga Alef North. However, that season, the Israel Football Association decided to reduce the number of clubs in the Israeli Premier League from 16 to 14, and as a result, decided that only one club will be promoted from Liga Alef to Liga Leumit. Hapoel Asi Gilboa had to face the winner of Liga Alef South, Maccabi Yavne in a two legged promotion play-off. first leg in Yavne ended in 0-0 draw, and the second leg, played in the Gush Yael Stadium, ended in 2-2 draw, thus, Maccabi Yavne won on away goals and promoted to Liga Leumit, whilst Hapoel Asi Gilboa remained in Liga Alef.
