Welcome To The Home Of Iraqi Football News. Football is a religion to many, but to Iraqis, it means a lot more than that. War, terror and suffering has given us little to find joy in, leaving football as our only real source of happiness. As Iraqis, we fully appreciate just how difficult it can be to get English news on our beloved Iraqi national team. We are dedicated to bringing you the latest news and exclusive interviews with players from within the Iraqi national team in an attempt to bridge the gap between the players and their English-speaking fans
