In a new step towards foreign professionalism, Pakhtakor Uzbekistan Club, one of the oldest clubs in Asia, officially announced its signing of Iraqi international defender Zaid Tahsin, coming from Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, to begin a new chapter in his football career at the continental level.

The announcement of the deal came this morning through the official platforms of the Uzbek club, where Zaid was introduced as a new player in the team, as part of Pakhtakor's efforts to strengthen its squad with players who possess high defensive quality and international experience, which the club found in the former Falcons defender, who has proven himself as one of the most prominent defenders in the Iraqi league over the past years.

Zaid did not leave quietly, but rather took the time to bid farewell to Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya and its fans with an emotional message posted on his personal accounts, expressing his gratitude and appreciation to everyone who supported him in his journey within the blue club, affirming that representing Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya was a great honor, and that the moments he experienced with the team will remain etched in his memory no matter how the colors and destinations change.

This transfer means that Zaid Tahsin will reunite with his former national team colleague, Bashar Rasin, who is currently one of the key players in Pakhtakor's lineup, adding a special character to this deal and enhancing the chances of harmony and understanding between the players on the field, especially since they have a strong relationship from their time representing the Lions of Mesopotamia in various competitions.

Zaid's joining one of the largest Uzbek clubs not only represents a step towards professional development but also reflects the level of trust that the Iraqi player has gained in the Asian market, with hopes that he will prove himself and contribute to strengthening Pakhtakor's defensive capabilities and compete for local and continental titles.

Iraqi fans, especially the supporters of Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, received the news with a mix of pride and good wishes, expressing their full support for the player in his new experience, hoping that he will be a good ambassador for Iraqi football in the fields of Uzbekistan, just as Bashar Rasin did before him.
