The Israel Football League (IFL) is in its second full-pad season. In the last couple of years, it has grown from just three teams, to five, and should see further growth next season.
Players come from all over Israel, and include new immigrants, veterans, Jews, and Arabs. In a part of the world where fighting sometimes seems the norm, the sight of winners and losers hugging, means a great deal more.
