The administration of Al-Zawraa Club has prevented Al-Shorta Club from playing at Zawraa Stadium due to allocating only 5% of the tickets for Al-Zawraa fans in the recent derby match.

In a provocative step, the administration of Al-Zawraa Club decided to ban Al-Shorta Club from playing its matches at Zawraa Stadium after what happened in their last match, which ended with Al-Zawraa winning 1-0. The administration of Al-Shorta Club allocated only 5% of the tickets for Al-Zawraa fans, which the administration of Al-Zawraa considered an inappropriate and unfair act towards its fans.

This action has sparked anger among the administration of Al-Zawraa, prompting them to decide to prevent Al-Shorta Club from playing at Zawraa Stadium, considering that the allocation of such a small number of tickets is an insult to their fans and a violation of their rights.

This decision reflects the increasing tension between the major clubs in Baghdad, and it is expected to have repercussions on the relationship between the two clubs in the future, in addition to its impact on the match schedule if this decision continues to be enforced.
