Syrian national team logo changed after Assad's ouster

The Syrian Football Federation made the announcement on social media with a photo of national team players in green jerseys, stating, "Our new national team jersey."

WHY WERE THE NATIONAL TEAM JERSEY AND LOGO CHANGED?

The Syrian Football Federation changed the logo and jersey color of its national team following the overthrow of the Assad regime by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).

This change aims to create a transformation in sporting and cultural symbols under the new administration.

The national team jersey and logo, which were red during the Assad era, have been changed to green to reflect the new administrative approach in the regions under HTS control.

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE GREEN JERSEYS?

The green color on the national team's jerseys is noted as one of the symbols of Islam.

This change also reflects the ideological influence of HTS and the prominent role of jihadist movements in the region.

Furthermore, the green jersey aims to move away from red, which was the symbol of the Assad regime, and to convey a different identity and message alongside the new administration.
