The Syrianska FC fans celebrating the 1-0 win from two days ago. Next game (12th game of the season) is tomorrow at 7 PM/19:00 Swedish time at home against a team that are in the middle of the table and have 7 draws in 11 games (only one loss though). This will also be the last game before the league takes a break for Euro 2012. The league will then resume again on June 30th.
Assyriska FF: The Game After The Big Win
It’s time for the 8th game of the season for Assyriska FF in the Swedish second tier division. Last game AFF took a big win away against the division favorites and today they’re playing at home against a team currently in the bottom half of the table. So it’s the kind of game that has to be won if AFF want to have a shot at advancing to the Swedish premier league. The game starts at 7 PM/19:00 Swedish time.
Highlights from Syrianska FC’s 1-0 win yesterday. Three wins in the last four and 13 points in 11 games so they’re already on a good path toward reaching the goal of the season; which has to be securing the contract to play in the Swedish premier league in 2013 as well.
Syrianska FC - The 11th Game Of 2012
10 points in 10 games, it’s time for the 11th game of the season in the Swedish premier league for Syrianska FC. An away game against the bottom team in the division. So at least one point has to be expected from the team in today’s game which kicks-off at 17:30/5:30 PM Swedish time. SFC have a very important player in Sharbel Touma missing though.
Also, this is the second last game before the league takes a break due to the Euro Cup.

Highlights from yesterday’s amazing 2-0 win away against the biggest team of the division! Assyriska FF now on third place (play-off spot) in the league table after 7 games played. First time ever that AFF defeats this team away.
Big Game: Hammarby Vs. Assyriska
One of the biggest games of the season for Assyriska FF will take place today at 7:20 PM/19:20 Swedish time. An away game against the biggest team in the division and one of the biggest teams in Sweden who are currently in second place. More than 10000 tickets have already been sold and if AFF win this tough game they’ll place third in the league table.
The video below is from the 2011 season game against the same team but at home when AFF won.

Arameans’ return and state policies
The trailer of a new documentary called “The return of the Aramean people” produced by a couple of Germans. It has already aired at theaters/festivals in a few cities in Germany and even got a bit of newspaper coverage when it aired in a movie theater in Gutersloh, Germany where the Suryoyo population is big.
Bethnahrin Suryoye IK
A team called Bethnahrin IK (Bethnahrin pretty much means Mesopotamia in Syriac, even though it covers more ground than just “the land between the rivers”) was founded in Sweden in 2002 by old Assyriska and Syrianska players who were tired of the arguing between the clubs and just wanted to play with a neutral name for all Suryoye and not care about any self-identification talk.
Well, this season they have decided to put more effort into the team and first decided to change the name of the team to Bethnahrin Suryoye IK. They’re currently in the sixth highest division in Sweden and have had a great start to the 2012 season with five wins in five games (only 22 games per season in their division) and a 16-5 goal difference. I expect them to advance.
Syrianska FC won their second game in a row yesterday at home in the Swedish Premier League. Now they’ve climbed to a 10th position and in 9 games they’ve won three. Last season they won 8 out of 30 games and managed to keep themselves in the highest division, they’re almost halfway there. Next game is on Wedensday.

Highlights from yesterday’s Syrianska FC game.
Syrianska FC won today! 4-1 victory away against a tough team in the 8th game of the season and three goals by Suryoyo Sharbel Touma. This was a much needed win after 5 losses in a row. Now they’ve advanced to the third last spot in the table of the Swedish premier league (the two last move down automatically while the third last team has to qualify to remain in the top division).
