Officially, Qoqia Absent from the Police Match

Al-Zawraa club received a painful blow before the anticipated match against the police, as part of the twenty-ninth round of the Iraqi Stars League, following the official confirmation of the absence of the distinguished midfielder Hassan Abdul Karim "Qoqia" from the match.

According to official sources within the club, the player will not be present for this encounter after the disciplinary penalty against him was upheld, which came as a result of his actions in the matches against Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya and Al-Talaba, where the penalty included a one-match suspension.

Some reports had previously indicated the possibility of the player participating after appealing the penalty, but the final decision was issued today, putting an end to all expectations and confirming that "Qoqia" will miss the capital derby.

The absence of Hassan Abdul Karim is a significant technical loss for Al-Zawraa, given his vital role in the attacking midfield and his ability to make a difference in major encounters, placing coach Haidar Obaid in a significant challenge to compensate for this impactful absence.

The technical staff will have to rearrange their tactical plans and search for ready substitutes to fill the gap in a match that is considered one of the most important in the team's journey this season.
