Women's football club in Amude moves up to Syrian league

The 2020/21 season of the Syrian women's football league is expected to start this Thursday.

The women's soccer club from the northern Syrian city of Amude will advance to the Syrian women's soccer league for the first time since its foundation in 2016. In the end, the players had to undergo a remarkably hard training. This week they will be heading for Damascus, said coach Ibrahim Ali.

The 2020/21 season of the Syrian women's football league is expected to start this Thursday. In addition to the Kurdish players from Amude, seven other clubs from the cities of as-Suwaida, Homs, Damascus and Homs will compete.

In the Cizire region, the Amude club has already played in numerous tournaments. On international league, the women last competed in the Asian Women's Football Championship in Jordan last year. This competition is the Asian continental championship in women's football, which has been played since 1975.
