@Haryad_gunner As in, each time will be make eleven separate substitutions rather than just 5, which is usually the case.

[Iraq Football Podcast @IraqFootballPod]

Great news! 🙏

All four teams participating in the upcoming friendly tournament in Basra will be allowed to have 1️⃣1️⃣ substitutions. 🇮🇶🇮🇷🇱🇧🇵🇸

Expect to see many, many new faces. 🔥

📸 | The atmosphere is already building in Basra! 🇮🇶

The Iraqi national team completed their second training session today, with the players looking in great spirits, full of energy and clearly excited as preparations continue for the Basra International Tournament. 🔥

Iraq will be wearing their green jersey in our Friday match against Lebanon. 🇮🇶 🇱🇧

Unfortunately, one gym session every couple of months is not going to help solve anything.

Unless clubs in the Iraqi league are training their players correctly thanks to good coaching, and the players themselves are motivated to eat properly, sleep on time, and avoid bad habits like smoking, then nothing will ever improve with regards to fitness.

@IraqNT_EN @IraqFootballPod as you pointed out, Iraq needs to work on conditioning, long may it continue.

🎥 Highlights: Zac Hadi pulled off some HUGE saves for Bradford City last night, capping off a memorable first-team appearance by picking up the Man of the Match award. 🧤👏

A clean sheet, a 4-0 win and MOTM on your debut. What an achievement! 🇮🇶

@UTDFats wtf is this gif 🤣

🚨🇮🇶 WHAT A DEBUT FROM ZAC HADI! 🤯

Congratulations to the young Iraqi goalkeeper on making his official Bradford City first-team debut in the EFL Trophy against York City!

A CLEAN SHEET in a thumping 4-0 victory, capped off with an incredible 9.3 average match rating! 🧤🔥

Remember the name. Iraq has another serious talent coming through! 🇮🇶

[Iraq Football Podcast @IraqFootballPod]

Okay, so the comments to my last tweet got me thinking..

Guys, you’re the Iraqi manager vs. Lebanon:

Who are the first 3 names in the Starting XI that you are choosing?

[Iraq Football Podcast @IraqFootballPod]

@AlkaabiIraq Inshallah bro!

[Iraq Football Podcast @IraqFootballPod]

🇮🇶 Why are so many Iraqi parents reluctant to let their children pursue a career in football?

In our latest podcast, Omar Al-Duri and I discuss the crucial role parents play in supporting their children throughout their football development, and why so many talented Iraqis never reach their full potential due to a lack of support, guidance and encouragement.

🎙️ Check out the full podcast on YouTube. Link in my story!

A special shoutout to Ali Salman for setting an outstanding example of what it means to support your son throughout his football journey.

Congratulations to Zayn on signing for Brentford! Wishing them every success. They are an excellent example for other Iraqi families and young Iraqis aspiring to make it in football. 👏🇮🇶

@Haryad_gunner Honestly, all ballers

[Iraq Football Podcast @IraqFootballPod]

🤨 Which Iraqi players are you most excited to see this international window!? 🇮🇶

Drop a comment below! 👇

@Adam45539555 Would’ve been a great time for Dario tbf

[Iraq Football Podcast @IraqFootballPod]

🇮🇶 Zidane Iqbal is another player I’m desperate to see in action!

He’s been outstanding for Dundee United this season, and his game has gone to another level.

We’ve always known what he’s capable of, but I’m hoping we get to see the SUPER SAIYAN version of Zidane in an Iraq shirt over these next two games! ⚡🔥

[Iraq Football Podcast @IraqFootballPod]

@AlkaabiIraq Project Zidane Iqbal 🔥

[Iraq Football Podcast @IraqFootballPod]

🇮🇶 Six players I’m particularly excited to watch during Iraq’s upcoming tournament, despite the games being friendlies:

Hiran Ahmed – In fantastic form domestically.

Haider Abdul-Kareem – We know the talent is there; now he needs to show it.

Adam Talib – A young but experienced talent. Keen to see him alongside Joseph Al-Imam.

Peter Gwargis – Time to translate his club performances to the national team.

Jussef AlNasrawi – One of my favourite Iraqi players, with plenty more to show.

Amoori Faisal – One of the biggest talents in the Iraqi league.

Hopefully all six get plenty of minutes! 🔥

@5iwa5 Trust me, the money is there.

[Iraq Football Podcast @IraqFootballPod]

People will see this and tell you with a straight face that there are no managerial options besides Emad Mohammed.

@PharaohsXI Appreciate the response 🙏
