Syrian FA expands the reach of grassroots football to people with hearing disabilities

Damascus: The Syrian Football Association (SFA) continued to promote football to people across the country regardless of their background and abilities by introducing a Syria Cup Futsal Football Championship for those with hearing impairment.

Together with the Paralympic Committee in Syria, SFA worked with cities in the country to establish a local tournament with the winner representing their city in the Syria Cup Championship.

A total of six teams from six cities - Damascus, Lattakia, Aleppo, Quneitra, As Suwayda and Daraa - participated in the seven-day competition with each team consisting of one head coach, 10 players and several staff members.
