All eyes are on the anticipated clash between Al-Zawraa and Al-Shorta in a fan-favorite summit that holds much technical and moral importance. Amid recent changes within the White House, Al-Zawraa's assistant coach Hossam Fawzi emphasized the importance of the meeting, affirming that the team fully understands the responsibility placed upon them.

Hossam Fawzi stated: “We are facing an important match against the Al-Shorta team, a respected team that has won the league title four times, which in itself reflects its size and technical value. Therefore, we are facing a real test that requires the highest levels of focus and discipline.”

He added: “We all know well the value of the jersey we wear, whether we are players or members of the technical staff. Al-Zawraa is a great club with its history, fans, and achievements, and playing in its name is a responsibility before it is just a match on the competition schedule.”

He continued: “We rely heavily on the team’s character and its resilience despite recent setbacks. A great team is not measured by the number of stumbles but by its ability to stand up quickly and regain its balance, and this is a trait we believe exists within the group of players.”

He pointed out: “We believe that tomorrow's match with the change in the technical staff will give the players a significant moral and psychological boost, and in such matches, the mental state plays a decisive role, so we bet on high spirits and the desire to prove oneself.”

He completed: “We rely on Al-Zawraa's character as one of the great teams in Iraqi football, and on our players' experience and ability to overcome difficulties. This is not the first time the team has gone through similar circumstances, but it always knows how to come back strongly.”

The assistant coach clarified that the ambition is not limited to the result alone, saying:

“We strive to present a level worthy of the club's name and history, and we do not want to lose in any way, but we aspire to a great match that reflects Al-Zawraa's reality on the field.”

He concluded: “The lesson is not in the stumble, but in the way back to competition. The important thing is to show a strong reaction and to prove to everyone that Al-Zawraa can overcome any circumstance and return to its natural place among the top teams.”

The fans of the White Castle hope that this confrontation will be a turning point in the team's path during the upcoming stage, especially with the clear desire of the technical staff and players to correct the course and regain confidence, in one of the most prominent matches of the round that the sports street awaits with great anticipation.
