The Iraqi club Duhok is preparing for a decisive match against the Saudi team Al-Ettifaq in the second leg of the Gulf Champions League semifinals, following their first-leg victory with a score of 1-0. The team aims to maintain its advantage and secure qualification in front of its large fan base.

Reports have confirmed that Duhok's management has made significant efforts to ensure full stands, with all tickets selling out before the match. Tickets were sold at varying prices, ranging from $2 to $70, and 20,000 fans are expected to attend to support the team.

The club's preparations were not limited to the stands, as the management decided to provide a giant screen in Azadi Park to broadcast the match live. This decision aims to give fans who could not obtain tickets a chance to watch the game, just as was done during the first leg in Saudi Arabia.

Duhok's management expressed its displeasure over the phenomenon of reselling tickets at inflated prices, confirming that it will take legal action against anyone found involved in these practices. They also urged fans to report any attempts to sell tickets outside official channels.

The Iraqi Football Association decided to postpone the match between Duhok and Diyala in the 24th round of the Iraqi Stars League to give the team an opportunity to prepare optimally for the return leg. This decision is part of the support for the team to continue its journey in the Gulf championship.

With the stands full and the fans' enthusiasm high, Duhok enters the match with great confidence to secure qualification. Will the team take advantage of this support to continue its quest for the title, or will Al-Ettifaq succeed in turning the tables?
