Ilay Madmon[4] (or Ilai Madmoun,[5][6][7] Hebrew: איליי מדמון; born 23 February 2003) is an Israeli professional footballer who plays as a centre-midfielder for Israeli Premier League club Hapoel Be'er Sheva, captains the Israel national under-20 team,[8] and plays for the Israel national under-21 team.[9][6][7]

Early life

Madmon was born and raised in moshav Ein HaBesor, Israel, to an Israeli family of Mizrahi Jewish (Yemeni-Jewish) and Sephardi Jewish descent.[1][10][2] His father Moshe Madmon hails from a local agricultural family who mainly specializes in growing tomatoes.[1][11]

He also holds a Spanish passport, on account of his Sephardi Jewish ancestors, which eases the move to certain European football leagues.[10][2]

Club career

Hapoel Beer Sheva

Madmon made his senior debut with Israeli Premier League club Hapoel Be'er Sheva on 4 July 2020, as well as in the opening line-up against Hapoel Haifa, in a home match that ended in a 3–1 win for his team.[12]

Madmon made his senior debut in the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League against German side Bayer Leverkusen on 26 November 2020, coming in as an 81st-minute substitute in a 1–4 away loss.[13]

International career

Since 2021 to 2022, he has played for as well as captained the Israel national under-19 team during the 2022 UEFA European Under-19 Championship first qualifiers and all its way to the Final against England U-19 on 1 July 2022, where his native Israel finished 2nd.[7][14] He also scored against Austria U-19 during the group stage.[15] Madmon was officially named by UEFA as part of its "2022 Under-19 EURO Team of the Tournament".[7]

Thanks to that, the Israel U-20 has also qualified to the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup, which Madmon currently captains.[16][8]

He also capped once with the Israel U-21 in 2022.
