Earlier this year, Syria's National Football team tried to qualify for the World Cup. It was an astonishing achievement for a country entering its seventh year of a bloody civil war. The team can't play at home and many of its star players have left Syria. Other stars refuse to play because the team is funded by the Assad regime. Richard Conway spent time with members of the squad in Damascus, and then met the whole team in Malaysia where they won a qualifying match against Uzbekistan. He discovered that, for some Syrians, the country's football team is a focus for national pride which appears to transcend the nation's deep and bloody divisions.
