Ok, I think I got the Syrian league figured out by "reading" some Arabic articles (you can use Google translate or find an editor who can read Arabic): 
 *No league champion was awarded for 2010-11, but a "play-off" was played to decide who represent Syria in the AFC Cup.  
 *Initially three teams were involved: Al-Wahda, Al-Jaish and Al-Shorta.  
 *Al-Wahda withdrew, so only two teams left.  
 *Al-Shorta beat Al-Jaish and qualified for AFC Cup.
