Ibrahim Saada: Al-Karma Aims for Competition with New Signings

Ibrahim Saada, the Iraqi player and international Jordanian, has unveiled his team's ambitions for the new season of the Iraqi Stars League, confirming that the club is working on building a squad capable of progressing thanks to the recent signings made under the guidance of experienced Egyptian coach Moamen Soliman.

Al-Saadah, 26, joined the "Sons of Ramadi" in the summer of 2025 from Al-Muharraq in Bahrain, and both parties successfully extended the contract until the summer of 2027, with a clause allowing for an additional season extension if agreed.

In a media interview, he stated: "My continuation with Al-Karma for a second consecutive season is a remarkable experience, and our participation in this year's Iraqi Premier League will be different. Our ambition is clear: to be in the top four and compete strongly, as the Iraqi league is one of the strongest Arab leagues, characterized by fierce competition and a large fan presence."

The management stated: "Al-Karma has a real project to compete for titles. We want to make up for last season and gift our fans better results. We promise them a tougher and more prepared team, delivering a higher level than last season, as everyone is ready to take responsibility."

On the other hand, sources confirmed that Al-Karma's management has not yet concluded their transfer dealings. It was clarified that Moamen Soliman has requested new reinforcements, specifically from the Egyptian market, and efforts are currently underway to finalize the signing of a new striker to meet the coach's desire to strengthen the attacking line.

Sources have reported: "The management has approved Suleiman's request, and the announcement of the signings is expected within the coming hours, after completing the file for obtaining the participation license in the Iraqi Premier League, which was approved after fulfilling all administrative, financial, and legal requirements."

Al-Karma continues its training in an external camp in Egypt, set to conclude on August 8, before returning to Iraq to finalize preparations. The new season of the Iraqi Premier League kicks off on the 14th of this month.
