Al-Fayha Stadium in Basra Governorate is preparing for an exciting match between the teams of Al-Students and Al-Minaa on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at 9:30 PM, as part of the 36th round of the Iraqi Stars League, in a match that carries many technical and competitive dimensions, and is considered one of the most prominent matches of the day.

The match takes place in a charged atmosphere, as the Al-Students team seeks to continue its strong performances under the leadership of coach Basim Qasim, having established itself as one of the teams competing for the top four positions this season. Al-Students has shown a largely consistent performance and possesses a distinguished group of local and professional players, having won the first leg match 1-0, giving them a moral advantage before the return match.

On the other hand, Al-Minaa enters the match with different ambitions, as it is still struggling to escape the relegation zone, hoping to secure a positive result that keeps its chances alive in remaining in the Stars League. Despite the modest capabilities and the problems that have plagued the team throughout the season, Al-Minaa has proven in several encounters its ability to compete with the big teams, which makes the match open to all possibilities.

The Basra team will take advantage of the home ground and the fans in an attempt to respond to the defeat in the first leg and secure the points from this match, which could mean a lot in the standings, especially with the season's conclusion approaching and the competition heating up at the bottom.

The anticipated encounter will be a new test of Al-Students' ability to maintain their level, and a real test of Al-Minaa's capacity to fight until the last moment.
