The1988 Israel Super Cup was the 17thIsrael Super Cup (22nd, including unofficial matches, as the competition wasn't played within theIsrael Football Association in its first 5 editions, until 1969), an annual Israel football match played between the winners of the previous season'sTop Division andIsrael State Cup.
The match was played betweenHapoel Tel Aviv, champions of the1987–88 Liga Leumit andMaccabi Tel Aviv, winners of the1987–88 Israel State Cup.
This was Hapoel's 8th Israel Super Cup appearance and Maccabi's 5th (both including unofficial matches). Hapoel fielded a weakened team, as most senior players refused to play since the management didn't pay the players' salaries over the previous season.[1][2] Maccabi, therefore, won the match 3–0.[3]
