Moadon Sport Ashdod (Hebrew: מועדון ספורט אשדוד, lit. Sport Club Ashdod), commonly referred to as F.C Ashdod (מ.ס. אשדוד, lit. Mem Samekh Ashdod), is an Israeli professional football club, playing in the port city of Ashdod. The unusual name of the team (unlike most Israeli football teams, this one only indicates the club's home city without any specific Jewish sporting association, such as Hapoel, Maccabi, or Beitar) is the result of the union of two city rivals, Hapoel Ashdod and Maccabi Ironi Ashdod in 1999. The club currently plays in the Israeli Premier League (Ligat Ha'Al).
