Play-off for AFC Cup qualification

Since the season was suspended, no league champion was awarded for 2010-11. To decide which team would represent Syria in the 2012 AFC Cup besides cup winner Al-Ittihad, a play-off tournament was organized.[8] Initially three teams were involved: Al-Wahda, Al-Jaish and Al-Shorta.[9] Al-Wahda later withdrew, so Al-Jaish and Al-Shorta played two games to determine the winner.[10]
