Decathlon Israel opened its first store in Israel in September 2017, in Rishon-Lezion which featured about 60 different sports, which were carefully selected and found suitable for the Israeli market. In the beginning of 2023 we opened our 10th store in Israel - our Jerusalem store!

We take our responsibility to sport and the world seriously, and we strive to anticipate and rise to the challenges that face our society and our environment.
