The international soccer account Goal, with over a million followers on Instagram, has highlighted Assyriska FF the club’s new kit for the 2026 season—a garment that carries a message far greater than soccer. Huyada has previously reported on the jersey here.
In the article, Goal highlights the history of the Södertälje club, which was founded in 1971 by Assyrian Christians, many of whom are descendants of survivors of the 1915 Seyfo genocide.
Goal's post also highlights how the new 2026 jersey carries a piece of history—the year 1915 appears on the back alongside the names of Seyfo victims. The previous 2024 kit was also awarded the Ettan Prize for the most beautiful jersey of the year, a fact also mentioned in the post.
The attention from one of the biggest accounts in the world of soccer means that Assyriska FF history and the Assyrian people’s struggle are now reaching an entirely new, global audience.
