Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRebels toppling the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad prompt the country’s soccer federation to change the color of the national team’s kit and logo from red to green.
Syrian rebels seized the capital Damascus unopposed on Sunday after a lightning advance that sent Assad fleeing to Russia after a 13-year civil war and six decades of his family’s autocratic rule.
As the events unfold, the Syrian soccer federation announce it is changing the color of its logo and the kit of the men’s first team.
“Our new national team uniform,” the Syrian football federation posts on Facebook alongside a photo of several players clad in green.
“The first historic change to happen in the history of Syrian sports, far from nepotism, favoritism and corruption,” it adds.
