After the riots, the Syrian Federation imposes strict penalties against the Omayyad Club
The Syrian Football Federation has imposed a ban on the Omayyad Club from playing any matches in Idlib following violent incidents during a recent match.
In response to violent incidents that disrupted a match between Omayyad Club and Al-Fidaa, the Syrian Football Federation's disciplinary committee has issued a strict ban preventing Omayyad from playing in Idlib until further notice. The disturbances occurred towards the end of the match, which ended prematurely due to the violence directed towards the referees, leaving a significant impact on the local sports community.
The match, part of the seventh round of the Syrian Premier League, was marred by chaos after a controversial decision awarded a corner kick to Al-Fidaa while they were leading 2-1. This decision sparked unrest among the fans, leading to a pitch invasion where referees were assaulted, escalating the situation and causing the game to be abandoned.
The disciplinary committee has called for an urgent extraordinary meeting to investigate the incidents in collaboration with related authorities, aiming to implement appropriate measures in accordance with the ethical code and disciplinary procedures. This emphasizes the ongoing challenges within Syrian football regarding fan behavior and the need for effective governance to maintain order during matches.
