🇮🇶 Iraq is back… after 40 years

Iraq has officially qualified for the World Cup after a 40-year absence.

A historic night… sealed with a 2–1 victory over Bolivia.


⚽ The match that changed everything

It wasn’t just any game.

  • Ali Al-Hamadi (10') opened the scoring
  • Bolivia equalized through Moises Paniagua (38')
  • Then came the moment…

👉 Aymen Hussein (53')

The goal that brought Iraq back to the World Cup.


⏳ From Mexico 1986 to today

The last time Iraq played in the World Cup was in Mexico 1986, led by legendary striker Ahmed Radhi.

For decades, that moment lived only in memories.

Today… it returns to life.


🔥 A goal for a nation

Aymen Hussein didn’t just score a goal.

He connected generations.

From those who watched Ahmed Radhi…
to millions witnessing history today.


🎨 One image… one story

This cartoon captures that exact feeling.

The past watching the present.
The dream continuing… not ending.


❤️ More than football

This qualification is bigger than the game.

It’s about:

  • resilience
  • identity
  • and a nation that never stopped believing

🚀 The world will watch again

Iraq is back on the biggest stage.

And this time…
it’s not just a memory.

The Asian Playoff Battle for the 2026 World Cup 🏆⚽️



Six Asian teams are now fighting for just two tickets to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. These nations are Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, Indonesia, UAE, and Oman.

The playoff stage is one of the most intense parts of the qualification journey. Every team knows that just a single win or mistake can decide its future. The atmosphere is full of pressure, emotion, and drama as these teams compete to join the already qualified nations like Japan, Iran, South Korea, Australia, Uzbekistan, and Jordan.

While the qualified teams can relax and prepare for the big tournament, the playoff teams are entering a fierce battle to keep their World Cup dream alive. Only two will make it through — the rest will have to wait four more years.

This is football at its most intense: passion, hope, and glory on the line. 🌍🔥

Hard luck Iraq




Jordan vs Iraq



In a thrilling encounter during the 2024 Asian Cup, the Jordanian football team emerged victorious over the Iraqi team with a scoreline of 3-2. The match unfolded with captivating narratives, starting with the Jordanians marking their first goal by jubilantly embracing the tradition of consuming the renowned Jordanian Mansaf dish. The Iraqi player, Ayman Hussein, replicated the same celebration upon scoring Iraq's second goal. However, this exuberance proved costly for him, resulting in a red card and his subsequent expulsion from the game. This pivotal moment ultimately tilted the momentum in Jordan's favor, allowing them to secure two more goals and clinch the overall victory
