Al-Karma Club made a strong impact in the summer transfer market after announcing today its official signing of the Jordanian international striker Ali Alwan, coming from Selangor FC in Malaysia, in a deal described by observers as one of the largest moves in the club's history, and it clearly confirms the team's intentions to seriously compete for the Iraqi league title next season.

Ali Alwan has an impressive international record, as he is considered one of the prominent stars of the Jordanian national team in recent years, and he was one of the influential factors in the "Nashama" journey towards qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. He has also previously had notable professional experiences in Qatar through the clubs Al-Shamal and Al-Khor, in addition to representing Al-Jazeera Club in Jordan.

This deal is a direct response to the ambitions of Al-Karma fans, who have begun to dream of a team that competes on all fronts, especially after the quality signings the club has made recently, and the contract with prominent names like Ayman Hussein, to form a terrifying attacking duo with Ali Alwan that is expected to make a difference in the title race.

For its part, a source close to the Al-Karma Club management expressed optimism about this deal, pointing out that signing a player of Alwan's caliber is considered a smart investment in a long-term sports project.

He added: "The club's management is working quietly but steadily, and when a deal of this magnitude is announced, it is a clear message to all competitors that Al-Karma will not just be a number in the equation, but a serious contender for the title."

He continued: "The anticipated partnership between Ayman Hussein and Ali Alwan could be the strongest attacking partnership in the Iraqi league in recent years, due to the individual skills of both players, their smart movements inside the penalty area, not to mention the continental and international experience they possess."

It is worth noting that Al-Karma Club is preparing to enter an external training camp that will be held in Tunisia in the coming days, which is another step that confirms the seriousness of the technical project that the management is building this season, amid expectations that the team will be one of the prominent contenders in the upcoming season of the Iraqi Stars League.
