1982 season

King Abouda (Abdul Kader Kardaghli): “The Tishreen team at the time in 1982 was one of the strongest teams in Syria and was prepared to maintain the league championship for several years, but the team was dispersed after the decision to rebuild the municipal stadium (currently Al-Basil) and the maintenance work in it, which lasted three or four Years, during which we played in Tartous and Jableh, and despite that, we remained one of the teams competing for the championship and finished in the top three, before the players started leaving the club, such as Al-Najjar and Al-Badi to Jableh and Al-Qudamati to travel.

When we were playing in the past, we did not think about money, and all our thoughts were limited to how to make people happy with our performance and results. The joy that we saw in people’s eyes is priceless, and I remember one time that in the national team we returned from Jordan to Damascus and people were cheering for us (and throwing rice at us). I wish they would only think about these things, for making people happy is worth billions, but it needs a conscience".
