The Al-Zawraa team will be a guest to its counterpart Istiklol Dushanbe from Tajikistan, tomorrow Wednesday, as part of the third round of the AFC Champions League 2, in a match that will take place at the Hisor Central Stadium at 4:45 PM Baghdad time.

This match holds great significance for the Al-Zawraa team, as it is the first for the Egyptian coach, Emad Al-Nahhas, who recently took over the coaching position of the team, succeeding Abdul Ghani Shahed. Al-Nahhas aims to start his journey with a positive result that restores confidence once again.

Al-Zawraa had begun its journey in this tournament with a valuable victory over the Indian team Goa with a clean two-goal win away from home, before suffering a loss against Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr with a score of 2-0 at Al-Zawraa's stadium, leaving them with a total of three points.

On the local front, Al-Zawraa is going through an unstable period in the Iraqi Premier League, as they have not achieved any victory after three rounds, having drawn with Al-Talaba and Al-Karama and lost to Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, while also having a postponed match in the first round against Al-Shorta.

The team, led by their new coach, aims to reconcile with the fans and achieve a positive result away from home, especially since the team is looking to regain the winning rhythm and return to the right path both locally and continentally.
