The Al-Shorta team is preparing to face a new challenge in the AFC Champions League for the elite, as they meet their Uzbek counterpart Nasaf in the seventh round of competitions. The Iraqi team aims to present an honorable image despite officially exiting the qualification race.

The match is scheduled to take place tomorrow, Monday, at the Independence Stadium, at 4:45 PM, where the 'Green Harp' hopes to capitalize on the meeting to achieve its first victory in the tournament and end its continental participation with a performance worthy of its name and history.

Al-Shorta had bid farewell to the tournament some time ago after a series of results that did not meet expectations, finding itself in the eleventh place (second to last) with only one point, reflecting the difficulty of its continental journey this season.

Nevertheless, the team enters the match with moral motivation, as the players aspire to appear with an acceptable performance that grants the fans some satisfaction and confirms the team's ability to compete with Asian clubs.

On the local level, Al-Shorta is experiencing a remarkable period after achieving three consecutive victories in the Iraqi league, against Naft Maysan, Najaf, and Al-Gharaf, presenting notable technical levels that reflected the increasing harmony between players and improved team performance.

These results are expected to give the team an important moral boost before facing Nasaf, especially since the technical staff relies on the positive state the players are going through to achieve a result that restores some balance after the Asian setback.

The match holds special importance for Al-Shorta in terms of regaining confidence and proving character, as the team will try to impose its style and play competitively against an organized opponent, focusing on minimizing errors and capitalizing on available opportunities.

Al-Shorta players understand that achieving a victory, even if it does not change the qualification reality, will give them a significant incentive to continue excelling locally, confirming that the team is capable of learning from its mistakes and returning stronger in future commitments.

The team's fans are eagerly awaiting this confrontation, hoping that the representative of Iraqi football will succeed in ending its Asian journey with a positive result, representing a new moral launch and giving the team additional confidence for the remaining competitions of the season.
