Alan Damián Bender
Israeli footballer
Alan Damián Bender (Hebrew: אלן דמיאן בנדר; born 16 February 1986) is a retired Argentine-Israeli association football player who last played for Punta del Este in Uruguay.
Playing career
Bender arrived in Israel and first trialled with Hapoel Tel Aviv. Due to his being Jewish, he was able to trial with the club since he would not count as a foreigner. Bender was passed on by Hapoel and decided to try to join other Israeli clubs.
After trialling with Ironi Nir Ramat HaSharon and playing a Toto Cup match with the club, Bender ended up signing with Hakoah Amidar/Ramat Gan. Despite impressing early in the season, Bender started to establish a poor reputation when he was fined for not taking training seriously. Just three months after joining the club, he was released by Hakoah due to his behavioral issues. After being released, he trialled at Maccabi Netanya. Then manager Lothar Matthäus was impressed by Bender, but decided not to sign him.
After 2 season's with liga Alef side Maccabi Ironi Kfar Yona, Bender was released and returned to play in Uruguay.

Why this record matters
The phrase “israeli footballer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 18, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q4706464. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1986.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
