Hapoel Sakhnin (Hebrew: הפועל סכנין) was an Israeli football club based in Sakhnin.

History

The club was founded in 1965,[1] and played in the lower divisions of Israeli football, during which time the club was the starting point to the career of Zahi Armeli.[2] In 1991 the club joined forces with Maccabi Sakhnin to form Bnei Sakhnin.

However, the club was soon reformed as a separate entity and maintained its position in the lower divisions. The club announced its dissolution prior to the 2015–16 season.[3]
