The assistant coach of Al-Zawraa Club, Hossam Fawzi, confirmed his team's readiness to play the anticipated match against Zakho in the Iraqi Stars League, emphasizing the importance of achieving a positive result that would put the team back on the winning track, especially in light of the Al-Zawraa fans' aspirations.

Fawzi said that the fans have given the team great support throughout the past period, adding: "Our fans have the right to be disappointed with the team if it does not win or score in the last two matches. We understand the magnitude of the responsibility on our shoulders, and we are working hard to correct the course and meet their aspirations."

He pointed out the necessity of developing the offensive aspect in the upcoming stage, stating: "We need to work more on the offensive side, as the team creates chances but needs to convert them better into goals, which is what we focused on in the recent preparations."

Fawzi added that the team's defensive system is in a state of stability, explaining: "Defensively, we are in our best form, as we have not conceded goals in recent matches, which provides us with an important foundation to build on to achieve the required balance."

The assistant coach spoke about the strength of the competitor, saying: "Zakho is a respectable team and has proven itself this season and become one of the competing teams, so we realize that the match will not be easy and requires high concentration from the first minutes."

He continued: "The good thing about facing Zakho is that it is not a team that heavily defends, which may give the match an open character and create spaces that can be exploited if we handle them well."

Fawzi concluded his statements by confirming the team's readiness, saying: "We are ready for the confrontation, and our ambition is to win with the support of our large fan base, which represents an important motivation for the players to give their best and achieve a result that befits the name of Al-Zawraa."
