Netanya’s Mayor, Miriam Fierberg-lkar, holds her honorary Israel Lacrosse jersey.
For the firs t tim e since the W orld
Lacrosse Championships started in 1967,
a country outside of the United States,
Canada, England and Australia will host
the competition. Just one day after the
bom bing in M anchester, England, the
city decided to withdraw from hosting the
competition. On May 23, it was announced
that Netanya, Israel would be hosts for
the 2018 World Lacrosse Championships.
Although the WLG is mostly dominated
by theU.S. and Canada, Netanya was given
the opportunity to host due to the city’ s
recent success in the sport and hosting
m ajor events sim ilar to the WLC. The
Israel national team placed second in the
2016 European Lacrosse Championship
and seventh in the 2014 WLC.
From July 12- 21 Netanya Stadium will
host 50 countries and more than 5,000
athletes. The participating countries for
the 2018 WLC is up from 38 showing the
quick expansion of the sport on a global
scale. Netanya Stadium is home to the
Maccabi Netanya FC and Maccabi Tel Aviv
FC. The stadium has a capacity of 13,610
and will be put to the test during the WLC.
