Announcement of tickets for Iraq vs Lebanon match

Iraqi football fans are turning their attention to the city of Basra, which is preparing to host the major football event in November. The international four-team tournament will kick off on Friday evening, November 13, 2026, with the highly anticipated opening match between the Iraqi national team and their Lebanese counterparts at Basra International Stadium.

The organizing committee of the tournament, under the direct supervision of the Iraq Football Association, has announced the official ticket prices for the opening match, which have been set at reasonable prices to accommodate all segments of the fans, ensuring a large turnout that befits the status of the Lions of Mesopotamia and the magnitude of the international event being hosted in Basra.

The organizing committee has divided the stands of Al-Jad'ah Stadium into four main categories, with prices as follows:

The first category: 35,000 Iraqi dinars, which is designated for the main stand and areas closest to the pitch, provides its holder with an ideal view of all the details of the match and the opening atmosphere.

Category Two: 20,000 Iraqi dinars, which is the category designated for the premium side views, and is considered the most balanced option between price and location within the stadium.

The third category is 10,000 Iraqi dinars, designated for fans in the middle and upper stands, which usually sees the largest crowd and passionate chants from the national team supporters.

The fourth category: 5,000 Iraqi dinars, which is the popular category that the organizing committee has ensured is available at the lowest possible price, allowing all residents of Basra and the southern provinces to attend and support the national team.

The match between Iraq and Lebanon will take place at 6 PM Baghdad time, at the Basra International Stadium, amid expectations of full stands due to the large turnout at the sales outlets since the announcement of the prices.

This match holds exceptional importance for Australian coach Graham Arnold, who is looking to test new young faces and correct the team's technical direction before entering the upcoming Asian competitions. This makes fan attendance a crucial factor in supporting the players in this final rehearsal.

The organizing committee has issued an open invitation to the fans of Al-Fayha FC and all provinces of Iraq to arrive early at the stadium and adhere to the organizational instructions, to ensure that the opening match is conducted in a civilized manner that befits the reputation of Iraqi football and the city of Basra, which has accustomed everyone to its hospitality and good organization.
