After a historic night in which Duhok Club won its first title in its history at the Iraq Cup, team supervisor and former player Khaled Moshir expressed his great happiness with the new achievement, confirming that this title has a special significance due to the drama and challenges it witnessed.

In press statements following the end of the match, Moshir said:

“This title is my third with Duhok, the first was in the 2009-2010 season when I scored the decisive goal and gifted the league title to the team against Al-Talaba, then we won the Gulf Champions League title, and today we add the Iraq Cup to the club's trophy cabinet while I hold the position of supervisor.”

Khaled Moshir praised the players' performance in the final match, which extended into extra time and ended in penalties, noting that they fought until the end and deserved this victory, saying:

“The players delivered a great match, and they were at the peak of focus and discipline despite the difficult circumstances and pressures, and they deserve this win rightfully.”

Regarding the future of the coaching staff led by coach Suleiman Ramadan, Moshir clarified that discussing this topic is premature, adding:

“Today we are at the height of our joy, and we will give the team and the coaching staff their due right to celebrate this achievement, and in the coming days, the technical and administrative matters related to the next season will be resolved.”

Khaled Moshir commented on the controversial moment during the execution of the fifth penalty kick, which witnessed a heated discussion between him and Zakho player Amjad Atwan, saying:

“There are no problems between me and Amjad, he is my brother and will remain so, and what happened was part of the intensity of the match and the tension that accompanies final matches. Things happen on the field and end there.”

Moshir emphasized at the end of his talk that Duhok has opened a new chapter in its history with this title, confirming that work continues to build a team that continues to achieve successes, and that this victory represents a gift for all Duhok fans who stood behind the team in all circumstances.
