Lior Asulin (Hebrew : ליאור אסולין; 6 October 1980 – 7 October 2023) was an Israeli footballer who played as a striker. He was murdered in the Nova music festival massacre by Hamas gunmen in the attack which led to the outbreak of the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.
A native of Ra'anana, Israel, Asulin grew up in the youth system of Maccabi Herzliya and it was there that he made the jump to Israel's highest league, Israeli Premier League but did not last long as the club was relegated just two seasons after he made the first team. In Liga Leumit Lior scored a league leading twenty-eight goals, so after the 2001–02 season, club chairman Ariel Shaiman loaned Lior out to clubs in the top league and signed him to a long term contract with Herzliya hoping to cash in on a large transfer fee.
During his seasons on loan, Lior has won the State Cup and established himself as one of the top Israeli strikers in the domestic league. Subsequently, after the end of the 2005–06 season, Herzliya chairman Ariel Shaiman disclosed to the media that he received lucrative offers from Olympique de Marseille and OGC Nice from France, from Russia, Turkey, three teams from Cyprus, and from a team in Greece for Asulin's services though nothing has ever come about from said offers.
After winning the State Cup with Bnei Sakhnin, he signed on loan for Beitar Jerusalem.
In June 2007, Asulin signed for a four-year contract with Hapoel Tel Aviv.
In January 2008 after a not-so-good time in Hapoel he signed for Apollon Limassol on loan.
From 2009 to 2011 Lior played for Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the Israeli Premier League.
On 17 August 2011, Asulin signed a contract with Hapoel Ramat Gan in Liga Leumit. Asulin helped them win the Leumit double as they won the Toto Cup and the league to secure promotion to the Premier League. He was the club's top scorer in that season, scoring in total 14 goals in all competitions. [1] [2]
On 17 June 2012, after being released by Ramat Gan for poor behavior, he signed a new contract with Hapoel Rishon LeZion. [3] On 4 December 2012, he helped the club win their first trophy when he scored a goal and a penalty in the 2012–13 Toto Cup Leumit finals. [4]
