The Iraq national football team is losing its star player Peter Kurkis after he was excluded from the team's roster for the World Cup. Coach Graham Arnold decided to exclude Kurkis from the roster, which prompted the player to look for a new opportunity outside of Iraq. According to a source close to the player, Al Ahly, Al Masry, and two other Egyptian teams are interested in signing Kurkis, in addition to European clubs. However, Al Ahly has not officially opened negotiations, and the matter is currently just an interest. Al Ahly is looking to sign big-name players to meet the ambitions of its fans and the desire of coach Hussein bin Amuta to compete in various tournaments in the new season. Peter Kurkis is one of the most prominent players in the Iraqi team Dohuk, and has contributed to the team's achievements in local tournaments. However, his exclusion from the Iraq national football team's roster may cost him the chance to participate in the World Cup. Kurkis hopes to find a new opportunity to play abroad and prove himself as a world-class player.
