The club was established in
1928. In
1951–52 they won the South Division of
Liga Bet to win promotion to
Liga Alef (then the top division). Three years later they finished third from bottom and had to take part in
promotion/relegation play-offs with the two top clubs from the second tier. They were unbeatnd during the play-offs and retained their place in Liga Leumit (which had replaced Liga Alef as the top division). However, in
1955–56, they finished bottom and were relegated. Hapoel made an immediate return to Liga Leumit. They finished bottom in
1957–58, but avoided the drop as no clubs were relegated. However, they finished bottom again the
following season and were relegated. The club returned to Liga Leumit in 1968. In 1975, they reached the
State Cup final for the first time, beating
Beitar Jerusalem 1–0. After several mid-table finishes, they were relegated at the end of the
1976–77 season. They made an immediate return to the top division, finishing third in
Liga Artzit (the new second tier). In 1980, they reached the State Cup final again, beating
Maccabi Ramat Amidar 4–1. In
1980–81 they narrowly avoided relegation, finishing two points and one place above the relegation zone. The
following season the club won the title for the first (and only) time under the management of
Dror Kashtan. However, they finished bottom
the season after, and returned to Liga Artzit. They finished as runners-up to
Hapoel Haifa in
1983–84 to make another immediate return to Liga Leumit. In 1990, the club reached the State Cup final for a third time, beating
Shimshon Tel Aviv 1–0 after extra time. The
following season they were relegated again after finishing bottom of the table. In 1992, under the management of Avram Marchinsky, the club signed its first American player, Michael Winograd, out of Lafayette College. The club returned to the top division the following season. In
1999–2000 they were relegated to
Liga Leumit (now the second tier). They won the league in
2001–02 to return to the top division, but were relegated at the end of the
following season. The club won Liga Leumit again in
2004–05, and avoided relegation on goal difference the
following season. However,
two seasons later they were relegated on goal difference. For the
2010–11 season, a new owner, Harel Raihman, came on after almost 15 years of Eli Tabib's era. At the end of the regular season, the club finished on top of the league, with an advantage of thirteen points over the third place. However, in the
Top playoff, where all the points obtained during the regular season were halved (and rounded up), the club failed to record a win, and finished the league in the third place, behind
Ironi Nir Ramat HaSharon and
Hapoel Rishon LeZion which were promoted. As the third placed club, Kfar Saba went to play in the
Promotion play-off against the 14th-placed club in the
Israeli Premier League,
Hapoel Petah Tikva, and lost both games, 1-4 and 0–1. Thus, the club remained in Liga Leumit. In the
2012–13 season the club have entered administration, and as a result, were deducted nine points. The club finished bottom and relegated to
Liga Alef, the third tier of
Israeli football. With a new owner, Stav Shaham, together with former club captain, Eli Yani, and the
supporters trust, "The Green Heart", the club recovered in the
following season, and made an immediate return to Liga Leumit, after finishing on top of Liga Alef North division. In the
following season, the club made their second successive promotion, following runners-up finish in Liga Leumit. Thus, the club returned to the Israeli Premier League after seven years. In 2015–16 season, the team finished at 10th, but one season after (2016–17), the team finished 13th and relegated to the Liga Leumit. ==Players==
