Shon Weissman was born in 1996 in Jerusalem

Weissman was born on 14 February 1996 and grew up in the Kiryat Haim neighborhood of Haifa. His parents divorced when he was 13, and he and his younger brother Shoval were raised by their mother, Varda. His grandmother is a Holocaust survivor.

He played in the youth system of Hapoel Haifa and then Maccabi Haifa, where he made his senior debut in 2014. He went on loan to Hapoel Acre, Maccabi Netanya and Ironi Kiryat Shmona. At Netanya he scored 12 goals as the club won promotion.

In 2019 he joined Wolfsberger AC and scored 30 league goals, finishing as the Austrian Bundesliga's leading scorer. In 2020 he moved to Real Valladolid, then to Granada in 2023, with a loan to Salernitana in 2024.

He left Granada in 2025 and signed with Blau-Weiß Linz. He made his debut for the Israel national team in 2019. His social media posts about the Gaza war led to a complaint against him in Spain, and Fortuna Düsseldorf dropped plans to sign him.

He married Eden Markovich in 2019, and their first daughter was born in 2020. He is a co-owner of restaurants in Nahariya and Hadera.
