Klil, one of Israel's leading aluminum systems manufacturers, transformed its production facility in Karmiel into a World Cup fan zone on Sunday evening, hosting a large-screen viewing party for employees during the FIFA World Cup final between Argentina and Spain.

According to the company, the atmosphere inside the factory made one thing clear: more than 90% of Klil's employees were passionately supporting Argentina throughout the match.

Executives Wear Messi's Iconic No. 10 Jersey

Ahead of kickoff, Klil Chairman Zuri Dabush, CEO Kobi Levy, and Chief Financial Officer Mirit Volman joined the celebration by wearing Argentina national team jerseys bearing the iconic No. 10, famously worn by football legend Lionel Messi.

The gesture reflected the company's enthusiastic support for Argentina and its captain during the championship match.

Chairman Praises Argentina and Messi

Commenting on the event, Klil Chairman Zuri Dabush said the company had hoped to see Argentina lift the World Cup trophy.

"After Argentine President Javier Milei—one of Israel's strongest friends around the world—had the honor of lighting a torch during Israel's Independence Day celebrations in Jerusalem, we were all hoping Messi would lift the trophy. Unfortunately, Argentina did not win."

He added:

"Regardless of the result, we will continue to admire the Argentine national team and the world's greatest football player—Lionel Messi."

Sport Brings Employees Together

The viewing event highlighted how major international sporting events continue to unite employees beyond the workplace, creating a festive atmosphere and strengthening team spirit through a shared passion for football.
