In this Tuesday, April 22, 2014 photo, Israeli Arab Noura Abu-Shanab, center, of Hapoel Petah Tikva soccer team controls the ball during a practice session in Petah Tikva, Israel. When the Israeli women’s soccer team Hapoel Petah Tikva lost a number of its players to Israel’s national team ahead of World Cup qualifiers, founder Rafi Subra made a decision that sets the team apart from many of its rivals _ he recruited from the Arab villages of northern Israel.
