They were Triple Crown winners twice in 1977 and 1978 winning the Greater Los Angeles Area Soccer League ,California State Cup and the National Challenge Cup. Maccabi played Bridgeport Vasco da Gama from Connecticut in the 1978 National Challenge Cup Final at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey in front of a crowd of over 30,000 people.
