The lack of fields in Haifa is a problem for the Underdogs. There is one soccer stadium in the city (
Kiryat Eliezer Stadium ) but cannot be used for any purposes other than soccer. Many venues have rejected the Underdogs' requests to be named as the Underdogs' home field. As of the 2007-2008 season, the Underdogs play their home games at Kibbutz Ein Hashofet, outside of haifa.Current Roster
