Syrian Soccer’s Historic Rebrand Amid Regime Change

Syrian rebels toppled President Bashar al-Assad's regime, prompting a change in the national soccer team's kit and logo color from red to green. The soccer federation announced the change as a historic move away from corruption, following the rebels' unopposed seizure of Damascus.

Following the unopposed seizure of Damascus by Syrian rebels, President Bashar al-Assad fled to Russia, ending a 13-year civil war that dismantled his family's six-decade rule.

In the aftermath, the Syrian soccer federation made a significant announcement, changing the national team's kit and logo from red to green.

This transformation was hailed as the first major reform in Syrian sports history, marking a new era devoid of nepotism and corruption.
