The Iraqi league is experiencing a hot summer in terms of fiery transfers for Iraqi clubs at various levels, whether major fan clubs or even those newly qualified for the competition. The clubs in the Iraqi Star League have succeeded in attracting distinguished players during the months of July and August, specifically the clubs of Al-Zawraa, Al-Kahrabaa, Baghdad Municipality, Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, and Al-Talaba.

Iraqi coach Abbas Atiyah expressed his optimism about these movements, confirming that what is happening is a tangible development in the philosophy of building teams, and he said:

Atiyah stated: "The activity of the transfer market in Iraq is a good and joyful matter, especially since we see that the clubs have changed their strategy in concluding deals and are now including international players of a high level, which paves the way for an exceptional season that will witness intense competition among more than one club. And certainly, we as observers and professionals hope to see the top players playing and shining because the benefits will be significant."

He added: "Despite the importance of significant and qualitative transfers in the Iraqi league, especially those concluded by the clubs of Al-Zawraa, Al-Kahrabaa, and Al-Talaba, there are several negative aspects to these transfers that affect the status of local players who play in the Iraqi national teams. Frankly, I fear that these transfers will impact their levels because the Iraqi Federation allows the signing of 6 foreign players, which is a large number."

He continued: "Local players must be protected in Iraqi clubs through administrative decisions that contribute to enhancing confidence in them. Today, if one of the clubs in the Iraqi Star League decides to rely on foreign players, only 5 players will represent the first team, and thus the opportunities will be limited. I believe that reducing the number of foreign players will be a positive factor and will also push clubs to attract only good players, and the transfers will be meticulously studied."

He pointed out: "I see that the matter of Iraqi clubs contracting with players from the Jordanian national team is a motivating and good issue because the Jordanians have a golden generation that made history, and attracting their players to Iraq is a positive step that will contribute to raising the technical value of the Iraqi league. Given the proximity of nature and atmosphere, I believe that Jordanian national team players will succeed if they are provided with suitable conditions and are utilized correctly, as is the case with their national team."
