Maccabi Haifa will represent Israel in next season's Uefa Champions League after claiming the Ligat Ha'Al title with a 2-0 home victory over Hapoel Kiryat Shmona.

A second-half brace from Lior Rafaelov left the Greens six points clear of Hapoel Tel Aviv ahead of the final round of games.

This is Maccabi's 12th title. Elisha Levy's troops will meet Hapoel Tel Aviv in the Israeli FA Cup final on May 25.

Levy said: "The goal now is to complete the double and then qualify for the Champions League group stage."

Runners-up Hapoel, along with nearest rivals Maccabi Tel Aviv and Bnei Yehuda, will represent Israel in the Europa League.
