Omri Glazer (Hebrew: עומרי גלזר; born 11 March 1996) is an Israeli professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Israeli club Maccabi Haifa and the Israel national team.

Early and personal life

Glazer was born and raised in Tel Aviv, Israel, to an Israeli family of Ashkenazi Jewish (Romanian-Jewish) descent.[2][3][4][5][6]

He also holds a Romanian passport, on account of his Ashkenazi Jewish ancestors, which eases the move to certain European football leagues.[5][6]

Club career

Glazer started his career in the youth department of Maccabi Tel Aviv, and at the age of 17 he joined the youth team of Hapoel Ra'anana.[7] On 16 May 2015, he made his senior debut, when he started in a 4–2 loss to Hapoel Petah Tikva in the last round of the 2014–15 season.

On 23 June 2016, Glazer signed for Maccabi Haifa.[8] He initially served as a substitute goalkeeper for Ohad Levita, before becoming the first goalkeeper following the latter's injury. In July 2019, he was loaned out to Sektzia Ness Ziona.[9]

In June 2021, he signed a three-year contract with Hapoel Be'er Sheva.[10] In the 2022 Israel State Cup final, he managed to save three penalties during the shootouts to win the title against his former club Maccabi Haifa. Afterward that year, he saved another two penalties in a 4–3 victory in the shootouts against the same opponent during the Israel Super Cup.

On 22 June 2023, Glazer signed a three-year contract with Red Star Belgrade.[11] Later that year, on 19 September, he managed to hold the record for most saves in a single UEFA Champions League game, with 13 saves for Red Star Belgrade in a 2023–24 group stage match against Manchester City, despite an eventual 3–1 defeat.[12]

International career

In November 2016, he was first called up to the senior Israeli squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup European qualifiers, ahead of the match against Albania.
