A Disciplinary Earthquake Shakes the Syrian League: Fan Bans and Heavy Fines Threaten Clubs' Season
The Disciplinary Committee of the Syrian Football Association issued strict decisions following the events of the twentieth round, in a strong move to enforce order within the competition during the crucial stage.
The committee imposed a severe penalty on Tishreen Club by banning its fans from attending two home matches, in addition to relocating a game away from its stadium, due to repeated incidents of disorder and throwing projectiles.
Reports from observers revealed that the events included targeting the assistant referee with solid projectiles and water bottles, prompting the committee to decide on relocating the match, with Al-Basel Stadium in Homs being nominated to host the encounter.
In a related context, the committee sanctioned an assistant coach at Al-Ahli Aleppo Club with a three-match suspension and a financial fine due to unsportsmanlike conduct towards the refereeing team after the match.
The details indicate that the incident occurred inside the tunnel leading to the locker rooms, where the coach attempted to confront the referee and used offensive language, which led to an escalation of the penalty against him.
The decisions extended to include financial fines exceeding 20 million Syrian pounds on several clubs, including Al-Wathba, Al-Karamah, and Al-Talia, due to various fan and organizational violations.
The committee also issued a stern warning, emphasizing that repeated incidents of rioting could lead to the final rounds of the league being held without any audience for all teams.
In another development, the committee rejected Khan Shaykhun Club's request to lift the temporary suspension of its players, which means they will continue to be absent from upcoming matches until a final decision is made.
