Iraq billetter

Nicknamed the "Lions of Mesopotamia" (Usood al-Rafidayn), the Iraq national team is a storied and resilient power in Asian football, most famous for their emotional 2007 AFC Asian Cup victory that united the nation. They are a team defined by technical skill and fierce spirit, consistently competing at the highest levels of the continent from their home "fortress," the Basra International Stadium. In a historic moment, on March 31, 2026, Iraq defeated Bolivia 2–1 in a dramatic intercontinental playoff to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, ending a 40-year wait for their second appearance on the global stage. Under the guidance of head coach Graham Arnold and led by stars like Aymen Hussein and Ali Al-Hamadi, the Lions are now set to carry the hopes of millions into the finals this summer.
