Gabi Kanichowsky

Gabi Kanichowsky of Ferencvaros was born in Ra'anana, Israel on 24 August 1997 (age 29).

Gabi Kanichowsky, born 24 August 1997 (age 29), is an Israeli centre midfielder with Ferencvaros, where he wears number 36. Compact at 5ft 5in (1.65m), he is not the sort of midfielder built to dominate a pitch physically, so the value has to come in the usual places: use of the ball, movement, and reliability in possession.

His career is now shaped chiefly by his spell in Budapest. Across two league seasons with Ferencvaros, Kanichowsky has made 31 league appearances and scored five goals. The productive stretch came in 2025-26, when he scored five times in 28 league games, giving his midfield work a bit more end product than is often expected from that role.

In 2026-27, he has added three league appearances and six Europa League qualifying appearances for Ferencvaros, taking him to nine club appearances in all competitions for the season. He has also remained involved internationally, with Israel using him in two World Cup qualifiers and two Nations League matches.

Kanichowsky’s senior profile is a straightforward one: an Israeli international midfielder whose club career is centred on Ferencvaros, with his best scoring return so far coming in the 2025-26 league campaign.
