Najaf Hosts Electricity Tomorrow for Stars League
All eyes are on Najaf International Stadium tomorrow evening, Monday, May 19, 2025, where an anticipated match will take place as part of the 34th round of the Iraqi Stars League, featuring the struggling Najaf team against the ambitious Electricity team, in a match that kicks off at six o'clock in the evening.
The Najaf team enters the match under unstable technical conditions, as its results have noticeably declined in recent weeks, losing much of the momentum it had at the beginning of the season, which was promising in its early days.
This decline has been reflected in the standings, where the team currently occupies the fifteenth position with 38 points, a position that does not befit the size and history of the club.
Amid these circumstances, the decision to part ways with coach Abdulghani Shahid came, who left to take over the leadership of Zakho, while Wali Karim currently assumes the responsibility of coaching the team, seeking to revive the spirit and achieve a result that restores confidence for both fans and players alike.
On the other hand, Electricity appears more cohesive this season, despite some fluctuations in results, yet the team is considered one of the mid-table teams that has succeeded in establishing itself in the league.
Electricity currently occupies the eleventh position with 44 points, and it is credited for its ability to present balanced performances, relying heavily on a blend of young players overseen by the experienced coach Radi Shneeshil, who has a long history in Iraqi football. The team aims to achieve a positive result that enhances its position in the standings and provides an additional boost to finish the season ideally.
Both teams recognize the importance of the three points, as Electricity wants to continue progressing, while Najaf aspires to stop the loss of points and regain some of its lost prestige, in a match that could be crucial for morale before entering the final stages of the tournament.
