Football returns to Aleppo after five years of war

A local football match took on significant meaning for supporters this weekend - as war-torn Aleppo saw its first live game in five years.

Local side Al-Ittihad beat their city rivals Hurriya 2-1 on Saturday, BBC reports.

There has been no professional football in Aleppo since it was divided between the army and rebel forces in 2011.
