The Arab circles in the Gulf countries soon accepted Iraq’s invitation to attend the Gulf Cup in its 25th session, and soon the event began regarding Basra, with its history and the good present of its people, as they receive their brothers coming from the Gulf and the world…
That scene, which was absent from us for years due to wars… Today, it has come back, imposing itself out of love and forgiveness, to start over and to be a living example for the whole world of a living Iraq that is born from the womb of patience and starts recovering from yesterday’s wounds into the arms of its brothers….
Gulf 25 was not only a sporting event, but an Arab Gulf in all the meaning of the word, even if the name and title aroused the wounds of many, many!!!
It is the first time that the Iraqi parties, with all their names, nationalities, religions and sects, stand to celebrate and sing in the name of Iraq without talking regarding disputes over the division of positions, nor regarding agreements or disputes over the distribution of quotas… Basra was the most prominent address for the unity of all.
In Basra, everyone united… and everyone agreed that Iraq is greater than any disagreement and that the Gulf, in the language of its people, remains Arab
How wonderful is that return and in Basra between the brothers… And how great is that event that was made by the arms of the Iraqis with an Iraqi will and with the love of a Gulf man who returned eager to throw himself into the arms of his family following a long absence… Thank you to those who participated in this magnificent sports carnival. Basra remains the Arab Gulf.
