Similar to the events in Qamishlo, the security Shabiha attacked the Afrin club team

ARK News… Afrin Sports Team, on Friday, September 4, 2020, objected to the referee's decisions for the football match, which brought together Afrin Club and Al Tadhamin Club in Lattakia Governorate, and activists described it as chauvinist and racist.

The interception led to the end of the match prematurely, after the decisions of the referee, who counted two suspicious goals for Al-Tadhamin.

A fan told ARK News that two players from the Afrin club were beaten, while the team and its fans were subjected to the ugliest insults, profanity, and vulgar words.

Activists released photos of the player from the Afrin club, who was beaten in separate places of his body by the regime's security.

The athletes commented on the events that took place in the match as a great injustice suffered by the Afrin sports team, especially after two suspicious goals were counted in favor of the Al Tadhamin team.
Activists likened these events to the events that led to the uprising in 2004 after the systematic assault on the Jihad team (Qamishlo) by the regime's security and supporters of the Al Fituwa team (Deir Ezzor).

Afrin club played in the final grouping qualified for the first division (Syrian Premier League). The competent authorities will decide on the protest filed by the team, according to sports sources.
