Sakhnin became famous last year as its football team I'hud Bene Sakhnin (Saknin Juniors United) became the first ever Arabic-Israeli team to become the cup holder. Photo of fan flag of the football club at www.ynet.co.il.
It is costumery to see it as keeping the name of the ancient Jewish town of Sikhnin (also known as Sikhniya, Kefar Sikhni and Kefar Sigana). According to local tradition the current town was established during the reign of the Caliph Omar (634–644). Local Council since 1965 and Municipality since 1995.
