Dahan is often referred to as one of Israel"s greatest wastes of talent and was the subject of a documentary in Israel on why Israel has yet to produce quality football players and the hardships they face in improving in the Israeli system of football. Dahan was a product of the Maccabi Netanya youth system where he managed to catch the eye of a scout from German club Borussia Dortmund. He left Netanya for Dortmund along with Amos Sassi where the two enjoyed great success even capturing a world title in a tournament for Organization for Rehabilitation through Training high schools.
Both Dahan and Sassi excelled at Dortmund, even taking the German youth championship while there.
But in order to be able to play for Israel"s full national team, they had to complete their mandatory service in the Israel Defense Forces. Both were loaned out to Maccabi Haifa where they languished on the bench.
