Iraq national football team announces World Cup qualifying match date in Monterrey, Mexico on March 31. The match will be played against the winner of the Bolivia vs. Suriname qualifying match. President of the Iraq Football Association Adnan Dirjal announced the date of the match in an interview with the official website of the Iraqi Football Association. Dirjal said that the Iraqi Football Association has been in contact with the international and Asian federations to follow up on the match in Monterrey, Mexico on March 31. He added that the events and circumstances have made it necessary for the Iraqi Football Association to explain the challenges they face to the international federation. The war in the Middle East has been ongoing since late February, following US-Israeli strikes on Iran. Dirjal explained that Gianni Infantino, president of the international federation, has facilitated all procedures and that the Iraqi Football Association has been in contact with Mathias and the specialized staff and the Asian federation to overcome the obstacles. They will leave for Monterrey at the end of the week. The Mexican embassies in the relevant countries have facilitated the procedures for obtaining entry visas, and therefore all local players (Douri Njoom Iraq clubs) will leave from Baghdad, in addition to the professional player Ali Jassim who will accompany us, as well as the players in the UAE, and the coaching staff will arrive and the players Zaid Tahsin and Ribin Solaga from their clubs in Asia after being officially released. The professional players in Europe will join the team in Monterrey after completing their matches with their teams in the leagues.
