Agudat Sport Nordia Jerusalem (Hebrew: אגודת ספורט נורדיה ירושלים), also known as Beitar Nordia Jerusalem (Hebrew: בית"ר נורדיה ירושלים) is an Israeli football club based in Jerusalem. The club was formed in 2014 by Beitar Jerusalem supporters, opposed to right-wing fan organizations which took over the fan base in the years prior to the clubs' formation.
Origins and formation
Beitar Jerusalem was established in 1936 and since the 1970s became a major force in Israeli football, winning 6 championships, 7state cups, as well as several minor cups and spending most of its time in the Israeli top division.
Established in 2005, fan organization La Familia became dominant in the stands, voicing more right-wing and racist views, edging out less extreme fans. As a result, in 2014, the disenfranchised fans organized a fans' association, named Beitar Nordia Jerusalem, in order to set a fan-owned football club. The club was initially called Beitar Nordia Jerusalem, as Nordia, after ZionismZionist leader Max Nordau, was the name chosen by the Beitar sport association teams after the association was disbanded by the Mandatory Palestine government due to the association's ties with the Irgun in 1947, thus resurrecting the original club's name between 1947 and 1948.
The original Nordia Jerusalem played two games only in 1947, vs. HaPoel Jerusalem in November 15 (3:1) and vs. Degel Zion in November 29th (8:1). they won the both games and they lead the Jerusalem league, but in November 29th, a few hours after the game, The UN Announced on the termination of the British Mandate and the establishment of two states in Israel. The day after, on November 30 1947 the arab nations start the war against Israel, later called The Independent War.
In August 2014 the club was registered with the IFA. However, the club was barred from using Beitar in its name, as it is not affiliated with the Beitar sport association. The club, therefore, settled on the name "Agudat Sport Nordia Jerusalem", and was registered to the Central division of Liga Gimel. On 17 October 2014 the club played it first official match, beating Maccabi Kiryat Ekron 2–1 in the league.
2014-2015 was the first year Beitar Nordia Jerusalem take part in the Israeli league, and so far they placed in the 3rd place of Liga Gimel Mercaz (hebrew: ליגה ג' מרכז)
