Beitar Jerusalem Football Club, commonly known as Beitar Jerusalem or simply as Beitar, is an Israeli professional football club based in the city of Jerusalem, that plays in the Israeli Premier League, the top tier in Israeli football. The club has traditionally worn kit colours of yellow and black. The team has played its home matches in the 34,000-capacity Teddy Stadium in the Malha neighborhood of Jerusalem since 1991.
The club was founded in 1936 by Shmuel Kirschstein and David Horn, who chaired the similarly named Betar branch in Jerusalem. Several team members were also part of the outlawed Irgun and Lehi militias closely associated with the right-wing Revisionist Zionism movement. Beitar's fans have become a highly controversial political symbol in Israeli football culture, unofficially aligned with the Revisionist Zionist movement and to the right-wing Likud party. The club, whose fanbase is notorious for its anti-Arab and anti-Muslim racism, remain the only one in the Israel Premier League to have never signed an Arab player, although the club already signed four non-Arab Muslim players in the past.
