2003–04 Ligat Nashim

The 2003–04 Ligat Nashim was to be the sixth season of women's league football under the Israeli Football Association. However, the league was interrupted after the clubs went on strike in protest over discrimination in budget allocation and financial difficulties.[1] and although the league resumed after a month of strike,[2] eventually the league was abandoned.[3]
