Ofir Meir Marciano (or Martziano,[1] [2] Hebrew : אופיר מאיר מרציאנו ; born 7 October 1989)[3] is an Israeli professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Israeli Premier League club Hapoel Be'er Sheva and the Israel national team .
He started his career with Israeli side MS Ashdod and has since played for Belgian club Mouscron and Scottish club Hibernian .
Early and personal life [ edit ]
Marciano was born and raised in Ashdod , Israel , to a family of Sephardic Jewish descent.[4] [5]
He married Israeli model Shelly Regev in 2016.[6] [7] [8] They have two sons.[9] [10] [11]
Club career [ edit ]
Marciano signed for Ashdod in 2008, and made over 130 Israeli Premier League appearances for the Israeli club.
Mouscron [ edit ]
On 7 July 2015, Marciano signed a season-long loan deal with top division Belgian First Division A club Mouscron .[12]
Hibernian [ edit ]
In August 2016, he signed for Scottish club Hibernian on loan for the 2016–17 season,[13] although regulations held up his eligibility to play for the club.[14] Marciano said that he was sold on the move by fellow Israeli footballer Nir Bitton , who plays for Celtic .[15] Following a three-week delay, it was announced on 26 August 2016 that Marciano had obtained his work permit.[16] He made his debut for the club on the following day, in a 4–0 win against Greenock Morton .[17] Marciano made 21 league appearances as Hibernian won the 2016–17 Scottish Championship , eventually helping his club earn their promotion to the top division of the Scottish Premiership .[18]
In June 2017, he signed a four-year deal with Hibernian.[19] Marciano was replaced in the team by Ross Laidlaw in September, missing one game due to observing Yom Kippur .[20] Marciano regained his place, but in June 2018 he underwent surgery on a finger injury.[21] [22] This caused him to miss matches early in the 2018–19 season, which led to Hibs signing Hungarian goalkeeper Adam Bogdan .[21] Marciano resumed training in October 2018 and subsequently regained the starting position with Hibs.[23]
Chris Maxwell replaced Marciano as first choice early in the 2019–20 season,[24] but the Israeli regained his place during December 2019.[25] Marciano continued as first choice during the 2020–21 season, but advised the club in March 2021 that he would not sign a new contract – eventually finishing that 2020–21 Scottish Premiership season with Hibernian in the 3rd place, as well as making over 120 appearances for the Scottish club.[26]
Feyenoord [ edit ]
Marciano signed a two-year contract with for Dutch top division Eredivisie club Feyenoord in June 2021.[27] [28]
On 19 August 2021, Marciano made his debut playing for Feyenoord during the first leg of a qualifying play-off round match of the UEFA Europa Conference League , that ended in a 5–0 home win against Swedish side Elfsborg for his team.[29] As well as playing in the second leg against Swedish side Elfsborg, that ended in a 3–1 win for Elfsborg.[30] On 25 November 2021, he played for Feyenoord during a group stage match against Czech side Slavia Prague , that ended in a 2–2 away draw.[31] In March and April 2022, Marciano played regularly due to an injury to first choice goalkeeper Justin Bijlow .[32] Marciano helped the team reach the 2022 UEFA Europa Conference League Final , defeating Marseille 3–2 on aggregate in the semi-final.[32] [33] [34] Bijlow recovered from injury in time for the final.[32]
Hapoel Be'er Sheva [ edit ]
On 15 June 2023 signed for 3 years in the Israeli Premier League club Hapoel Be'er Sheva .[35]
International career [ edit ]
Marciano made his international debut on 10 October 2014, as Israel won 2–1 against Cyprus , during a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying away match.[36] Marciano was recalled to the Israel squad in November 2016,[37] but had to withdraw after suffering a knee injury in training.[38] Marciano was recalled to the national squad in March 2019,[23] and played as Israel's on-and-off first choice goalkeeper since the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers . He then established his permanent first position for Israel all throughout the 2020–21 UEFA Nations League and the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA) .[24]
On 29 March 2020, Marciano was given the captain armband of the senior Israel national team (after first captain Bibras Natcho was substituted out right after the first half), in a home friendly match against Romania that ended in a 2–2 draw.[39]
