History
The club was founded in 1957 as Beitar Beit Lid in Beit Lid, a Ma'abara (temporary immigrant camp) near Netanya and played in Liga Gimel for two seasons, finishing second in its first season and winning its division in its second season. The club played for four seasons in Liga Bet before dropping back to Liga Gimel. However, the club won its division in the following season, bouncing back to Liga Bet. During the summer break the club moved to Netanya and was renamed Beitar Dov Vatikim Netanya. After a season, the club dropped the word "Vatikim" (seniors) from its name.
The club played in third tier Liga Bet until the end of the 1975–76 season, when Liga Artzit was introduced as the new second division, demoting Liga Bet to fourth tier. At the end of the next season, the club finished 13th and relegated to Liga Gimel, where it played until 1979, folding at the end of the season.
