Ahead of the inauguration of the United States embassy in Jerusalem on Monday, the city s most historic football club renamed itself in president Donald Trump s honour.
The new branding will see Beitar Trump Jerusalem contest the Ligat ha Al, with the club praising the courageous head of state.
Last December, the president went against global consensus by recognising Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
For 70 years Jerusalem has been awaiting international recognition, until president Donald Trump, in a courageous move, recognised Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel, read an official statement from Beitar, who did not clarify whether the change of name would be permanent.
