Gal Hamrani (Hebrew: גל חמרני; born 1992) is an Israeli Paralympic goalball player.

Life[edit]

Hamrani was born with aniridia and glaucoma, resulting in her being fully blind in one eye, limited eyesight in the other and being assisted by a guide dog.[1] She completed her sherut Leumi volunteering at a hospital.[2]

Hamrani began practicing goalball at age 13, joined the Israel women's national goalball team and is the team captain.[1] She took part in the 2016 Summer Paralympics and was team captain during the 2020 Summer Paralympics.[3] The team qualified to the Paralympic Games after achieving gold medal at the 2015 IBSA World Games and silver medal at the 2019 Goalball European Championships.[4]
