Syrian Football Association: New colors after the fall of Assad!

Damaskus, Syrien - A dramatic turning point in Syrian history: After the rapid falling fall of dictator Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian Football Association (SFA) has revolutionized the national colors of its team. In the future, the national team will compete in a fresh green instead of the traditionally red jersey, as the association surprisingly announced on its social media. This decision marks the first profound change in Syrian football and is perceived as a step into a new era, far from nepotism and corruption that have shaped the country for decades. The logo was also adapted accordingly, which symbolizes the desire for renewal, reported laola1 .

The end of a dictatorship

The fall of Assad, which happened as a result of a more than 13-year-old brutal civil war, was celebrated by rebels last Sunday, the Damascus revenue. The dictator was forced to flee to Russia after his dilapidated regime collapsed within a week. Assad had kept with brutal tactics until the end, but the country he leaves is devastated and traumatized. His regid approach and the unshakable corruption within his regime meant that the state structures fell, as the nzz describes.

Bashar al-Assad, who took over in 2000, never faced serious reforms and perpetuated the division of the country. The violent reactions of his regime to peaceful protests during the Arab spring 2011 led to an enormous blood collar. Over 500,000 people died in conflict, which he made a personal struggle for survival at the expense of his people. Finally, despair said deeper abysses: in the end, both Assad himself and his allies no longer had a willingness to fight for the once undisputed ruler.

With the fall of the man, who has ruled for more than two decades, many Syrians hope for changes - "it can hardly get worse than under Assad," reflects the mood among the population. The football association seems to want to set an example that goes beyond the sporty and symbolizes the urge after a new beginning in Syria.
