The 1958–59 season was the 11th season of competitive football in Israel and the 33rd season under the Israeli Football Association, established in 1928, during the British Mandate.

Review and Events

At the end of the season, Liga Alef (second tier) was expanded from 12 teams to 14 teams and Liga Bet (third tier) was expanded from 24 teams (in two divisions) to 64 teams (in four divisions). This meant that while two teams relegated from Liga Alef, four promoted from Liga Bet, and that no clubs were relegated from Liga Bet and 42 club were promoted from Liga Gimel.
The national team took a brief tour of Poland in June 1959, playing one international match and one unofficial match. Israel was beaten 2–7 in the international match, which was labelled in Israel as the "Wrocław Shame".^[1] The other match, that was billed as a match between Łódź and Tel Aviv ended with a 1–1 draw.
