''I live in Rishon LeZion with my family; my wife and I have a beautiful baby boy Michael. Currently I am studying for a first degree in International Relations and Computer Science and I am also working in the IT field as a systems administrator.
''I first heard about Inter Aliyah in 2017 through a post on Facebook, Vlad and I decided to try out for the team and after a practice game we were officially registered to play in Liga Gimmel.

''6 years later and we are still playing for Inter Aliyah. We've been with the team on an incredible journey, feeling highs and lows along the way but our hard work paid off as we won the league this year, a memory I will never forget.
''I've played in every season and in every position, and even when I suffered an injury this year, I was able to recover and get on the pitch again for the final few games.

''Having my twin brother on the team is the biggest support possible but the guys are all like a family to me and we've experienced this crazy journey together, something I only share with them.
''There seems to be another mentality at Inter Aliyah that is unlike other teams in Israel, one that is focused on friendship and family. It's definitely one of the reasons why we became Champions.
Evgeny and Vlad through the years, what a progression!
''Winning the league is the peak of my time at Inter Aliyah of course, but before that, my favourite Inter Aliyah memory was a last minute equaliser against Naveh Golan last season.
''Evgeny''.
