Al-Zawraa Stadium will host tomorrow, Wednesday, June 25, 2025, the match between Al-Zawraa and Al-Minaa as part of the 37th round of the Iraqi Stars League, in a match that carries more of a symbolic nature than a competitive one, given that both teams' positions in the standings have been determined two rounds before the end of the season.

The match will kick off at 6:30 PM, in an atmosphere expected to be calm both in terms of fan presence and technicality, as both sides enter the match free from any pressures related to title competition or relegation struggles.

Al-Zawraa enters the match in second place with 74 points, having officially secured the runner-up position after losing the chance to compete for the title to Al-Shorta Club. Despite this, Al-Zawraa's season is considered relatively good given the challenges the team faced, whether in terms of injuries, technical changes, or administrative difficulties, especially at the start of the season.

Coach Haidar Obeid, who has skillfully led the team in the latter stages of the season, is expected to give opportunities to some young players who have not had enough space to shine, alongside experimenting with different tactics in preparation for the next season.

On the other hand, Al-Minaa is considered one of the most disappointing teams this season, occupying the sixteenth position with 40 points, a position unworthy of the name and history of 'Al-Safana'. The team has suffered a wave of negative results and exited early from competition on all fronts.

Nevertheless, Al-Minaa carries positive memories against Al-Zawraa this season, having managed to win the first leg with a clean goal and eliminating them from the Iraq Cup with a goal to nil, which gives this match a special flavor on a personal level, even if it does not change the overall standings.

The encounter, which is considered a formality from a competitive standpoint, may witness the participation of several young players from both teams, especially those who have not received sufficient opportunities throughout the season. It is an ideal occasion for coaches to assess their levels under official competitive atmospheres without pressure, which may help shape the core lineup for the next season.
