Ahmed Ibrahim reveals the reason for the problem of the Iraqi team's defense

The former Iraqi national team player and the current Zakho club, "Ahmed Ibrahim", identified the reason for the problem of Al -Rafidain Lions defense in the decisive Asian qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup finals.

The Iraqi team's defense did not appear as required in its last participation in the 26th Gulf Cup in Kuwait, where he received 5 goals in three games.

Ahmed Ibrahim said, "Even if the Iraqi team coach, Jesus Casas, invited me to represent the national team, I will not agree to return, because this place for me has become from the past and was final, I am currently focusing with the Zakho teams and competing for the title of the Iraqi Stars League."

And he added, "For five seasons, I have been very good at everyone's testimony, but no one has asked for my summons, and I do not know the reason that prevents me from being in the Iraqi team. Talking about this issue has become a stressful matter for me."

And he continued, "The Iraqi team includes good materials of experience and talents, and in my opinion they can win the upcoming matches, there may be some lapses and problems in the motivation, but these things can be solved quickly if the squad stabilizes, because instability is the main cause of problems."
