In a deal that stirred much controversy within the corridors of Iraqi football, Al-Karma Club officially secured the transfer of Iraqi Olympic team star Amouri Faisal from Al-Kahrabaa Club on loan, in a surprising move that came after fierce competition with Al-Zawraa Club, which was on the verge of signing the player.

Amouri Faisal, 19 years old, is considered one of the most prominent rising talents in Iraq, having drawn significant attention during his participation with the Lions of the Euphrates in the U-20 Asian Cup – China 2025, where he played four matches and scored two goals, being one of the key pillars in coach Imad Mohammed's lineup.

According to informed sources, the management of Al-Zawraa had placed Amouri Faisal at the top of its target list since last season, as they entered serious negotiations with Al-Kahrabaa Club, which did not oppose the player's departure, provided that a swap deal was made for Al-Zawraa player Haidar Abdul Karim. However, the Al-Nawras management rejected this condition, causing a temporary halt to the deal despite ongoing attempts.

While Al-Zawraa was busy completing other deals, such as signing Muhammad Qasim and Saad Natiq, Al-Karma Club aggressively entered the negotiations and made an enticing financial offer to Al-Kahrabaa management for Amouri Faisal's services on loan, with a guarantee to renew his contract for two seasons before his departure to secure his future in case of a return. Indeed, Al-Kahrabaa management accepted the offer, allowing Al-Karma to complete the deal and turn the tables on Al-Nawras in the final moments.

The same sources confirmed that Al-Zawraa's management felt a great disappointment after losing the deal, especially since they were relying on the player as a strategic replacement for star Hassan Abdul Karim, who may leave the team this summer. It seems that Al-Karma benefited from the timing and financial flexibility to secure the services of a promising talent like Amouri Faisal.

The deal was not only a surprise for Al-Zawraa, but it also followed official offers for the player from Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya Club worth $200,000, but Al-Kahrabaa preferred to retain the player's services at that time before the start of the past season.

The data indicates that Al-Karma's management is working on building an ambitious football project, as it seeks to finalize other deals in the coming days, in order to form a team capable of competing with the big teams in the Iraqi Stars League next season, relying on a mix of local and international talents.
