Stav Lemkin (or Lamkin Hebrew: סתיו למקין; born 2 April 2003) is an Israeli professional footballer who plays as a center-back for Eredivisie club Twente, and the Israel national team.

Early and personal life

Lemkin was born and raised in Tel Aviv, Israel. His father is Israeli lawyer Shachar Lemkin, who also manages his football career. His mother Yana Lemkin is a designer and a social-volunteer in Israel, who hails from Soviet Ukraine (now Ukraine) before her immigration to Israel, although she still has some relatives who reside in Ukraine.

He also holds a Spanish passport, on account of his Sephardi Jewish ancestors, which eases the move to certain European football leagues.

International career

Since early youth, he had capped internationally with the Israel national under-16 team (2018), the Israel national under-17 team (2019–2020), the Israel national under-19 team (2021–2022), the Israel national under-20 team (2023), and the Israel national under-21 team (2022 debut).

He made his senior debut for the Israel national team in 2023.
