About Hapoel Galil Elyon

Hapoel Galil Elyon (Hebrew: הפועל גליל עליון‎) is an Israeli basketball club. The team competes in the Israeli Basketball Premier League, the top tier of Israeli basketball. The team represents the north-east region of the country – the Upper Galilee, and the Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights.

In June 2008, the club rights in the Israeli Basketball Premier League transferred to Hapoel Gilboa (which had previously been merged with Hapoel Afula, which regained their independence) to form a new club, Hapoel Gilboa Galil, which represents the Gilboa and Lower Galilee regions. The team was re-established in 2009.
