Review and events

[edit]
  • At the beginning of the season, top Beitar teams, Beitar Tel Aviv and Beitar Jerusalem competed for the Lifa Livyatan Memorial Cup, named after a late Beitar journalist. In the first match, played on 28 August 1954, the teams tied 3–3,[1] and the match was replayed on 12 October 1954, Beitar Tel Aviv winning 5–2.[2]
