Officially.. Mahmoud Al-Mawas Announces the End of His Journey with Al-Shorta

The Syrian star Mahmoud Al-Mawas officially announced the end of his journey with Al-Shorta Club following the whistle of the last match against Al-Karkh, closing a long chapter filled with achievements with the green team. The announcement was not surprising, as the player had hinted earlier at his intention to leave, before confirming his departure with heartfelt words directed at the fans of the Qithara and his teammates in the locker room.

Al-Mawas spent golden years with Al-Shorta during which he won four consecutive Iraqi League titles, in addition to the Iraq Cup and the Iraqi Super Cup. The Syrian winger was one of the team's key players, whether in scoring or assisting, and left a clear mark in every season he played in the Qithara colors.

His numbers with Al-Shorta go beyond just championships, as he scored decisive goals in crucial matches and assisted dozens for his teammates. His consistent performance and high skill made him an unforgettable name among Iraqi fans, even those who are not Al-Shorta supporters.

After the end of the Al-Karkh match, Al-Mawas stood before his teammates and bid them farewell one by one, before addressing his message to the fans. The Syrian player announced his departure from Al-Shorta, wishing the team and its fans more titles and championships in the coming seasons.

Al-Mawas revealed that his next destination will be outside Baghdad, but he preferred not to disclose the name of the new club at the moment, confirming that he is studying several offers he has received and will make his decision in the near future.

The most notable aspect of the farewell speech was Al-Mawas's mention of the offensive political chants he faced from a small group of fans recently. The player confirmed that these chants are "shameful" and do not reflect the morals and kindness of the Iraqi people, from whom he felt great love during his stay in Baghdad.

Al-Mawas expressed with heartfelt words: "I witnessed great love from its people in Baghdad, and I lived unforgettable days and memories there. But I was wronged by some due to those chants. May God forgive those who wronged me, and at God's judgment, adversaries meet." The last sentence "at God's judgment, adversaries meet" summarized the player's feelings and his way of dealing with the offense he faced despite his great contributions on the field.

Despite the bitterness left by the chants, Al-Mawas emphasized that his experience in Iraq was exceptional on a human level. He spoke of the generosity and love of the people that compensated for any negative moment, confirming that his memories in Baghdad will remain etched in his memory throughout his career.
