What happened?
The Iraq national football team is close to signing Amin Dakhil, a Belgian player of Iraqi origin. Dakhil has previously played for the Belgian national team, but is awaiting an exception from FIFA to change his international eligibility and represent Iraq.
Why does this matter for Iraq?
Dakhil could be one of the names that can strengthen the Iraqi team's defense, as they prepare for upcoming matches, including the Asian Cup.
What comes next?
The president of the Iraqi Football Association is in contact with the president of FIFA to resolve the issue, which could pave the way for the player to join the "Lions of Mesopotamia" in the next phase.
