Baghdad/Obelisk:
Walid Al-Taie
The victory of the Iraqi team over the Saudi team, the fact that the victory dazzled the Gulf states, and made all the Iraqi people happy. The Saudi team might not stand firm in front of the Iraqi team’s play, tactics and steadfastness.
The Saudi team will not score any shots towards the Iraqi team’s goal. The Iraqi team played a wonderful and distinguished game. The Iraqi team had the desire to win from the first minute of the match between the Iraqi and Saudi teams.
Rather, I am certain that the desire was from the moment the referee whistle blew, and the great fighting spirit was present in the Iraqi team. The victory of the Iraqi team following victory will give moral motivation to all the participating teams in the Gulf 25.
What proved that Iraq’s performance was wonderful is that they played in very difficult weather because of the continuous rain, but the national team performed combatively as if the match was a final match.
With this great joy in the heart of every Iraqi, it requires the Minister of Youth and Sports and the presidency and members of the federation to honor the Iraqi team and urge them to continue with this approach until achieving the championship and the final victory in the 25th Gulf Cup.
This heroism and victory represent a glimmer of hope for the suffering people, and it also serves as a message to the Arab surroundings of Iraq that it is ready to overcome decades of turmoil.
The Iraqi people are described as obsessed with football and have been pressing for years to obtain the right to host competitive international matches.
This is the first time that Iraq has hosted the Gulf Cup since 1979, when it was held in the capital, Baghdad.
After the recent hosting of the tournament, Iraq faced two devastating wars, regime change, occupation and rebellion by extremists, which affected the once prosperous Basra, just as the rest of the country was affected.
For this, it is necessary to support the sports side in Iraq, which will reflect positively on the country in terms of tourism and social, and on Iraq’s reputation, which has been distorted by politics.
