Ness Nissim Zamir (Hebrew: נס ניסים זמיר; born 31 October 1990) is an Israeli professional footballer who plays for Liga Leumit side Hapoel Petah Tikva. Zamir also played for the Israel under-21 national football team.
Zamir progressed through the youth ranks of clubs in Israel. When he was only 17 years old, Zamir had a trial with Getafe B, which decided to sign him on a professional contract. After playing there in the Segunda División B Groups 1–4, Zamir signed with Albacete B. A number of great games drew the attraction of some La Liga clubs such as Atlético Madrid, with whom he agreed terms on a multi-year contract. However, the transfer was put on hold and eventually avoided due to issues with Zamir receiving recognition from the IDF allowing him to be exempt from compulsory military service as an 'elite athlete'. Zamir is also awaiting a Spanish passport.
On July 28, 2011, Zamir signed with Real Zaragoza on a four-year contract. A key factor in Zamir's decision to sign with Zaragoza was the fact that their football director, Juan Esnáider, knew Zamir well from when he was an assistant coach at Getafe.
On January 30, 2012, due to his continued failure to receive the status as an 'elite athlete' from the IDF, Zamir signed on a four-month loan deal with Israeli Premier League side Maccabi Petah Tikva. It was hoped that this move would satisfy the military authorities as to Zamir's abilities and pave the way for him to become an 'elite athlete'. On 4 February 2012, Zamir made his debut for Petah Tikva as an 80th-minute substitute in their league match against Maccabi Tel Aviv. Zamir played a key role in Petah Tikva's second goal, which turned out to be the winning goal in the 2–1 result.
