Bassem Qassem reveals the false claims of Haidar Shanshul

In a dramatic turn of events that opens the door to extensive debate within the Al Zawraa club's headquarters, former Al Zawraa coach Basim Qasim has broken his silence, applying a policy of responding with compelling evidence rather than mere words. This comes in response to the provocative statements made by club official Haidar Shanshul during the Studio Al-Jamaheer program.

After Bassem Qassem chose to remain silent during the past period and out of respect for the rich history of the entity to avoid impacting the team's journey, the coach's response came decisively, accompanied by official documents and handwritten notes, completely refuting the administration's claims of not imposing disciplinary sanctions, revealing strict financial and technical penalties against the violating players.

Captain Bassem Qassem has addressed a clear explanatory message to the public and the loyal Al Zawraa fans through the media. The text and details of the message are as follows:

"I made a promise to myself and out of respect for the name Al Zawraa and its great history that I would not appear in any media outlet after my contract was terminated with Al Zawraa so as not to affect the team's progress in the league, especially with the league currently on hold."

"And the appearance of one of the important officials in the management of Al Zawraa on your respected channel, and he addressed the issue of not taking disciplinary actions by the coaching staff, this statement was contrary to the truth, and everyone in the community knows how strict we are in this regard."

"To respond and reveal the truth to our dear fans, I am sending you attached a set of reports sent to the club management officially to impose financial penalties as indicated in each report, as well as technical penalties by excluding the offender from training and official matches for a full match or having them sit on the bench, in addition to holding guidance meetings and providing advice and guidance to all team members."

To demonstrate the strictness of his coaching staff and their intolerance for the discipline of Al Zawraa players, Bassem Qassem presented the documents and official letters signed by him and addressed to the management of Al Zawraa Club, which include definitive penalties against several players due to unacceptable behavior and breaches of team regulations, the most notable of which are:

The first document imposes a financial penalty on player R. K.

The document includes a financial penalty of 3,000,000 Iraqi dinars imposed on the player due to his lack of discipline during training sessions and unacceptable behavior affecting team unity, along with a request to officially publish the penalty in the players' group and on the club's official website to serve as a deterrent for everyone.

The second document imposes a harsh penalty on the player R. Q.

The second document revealed a massive financial penalty of 10,000,000 Iraqi dinars against the player due to his inaccurate and irresponsible actions, which included his absence from training sessions and leaving with the team delegation under certain circumstances, as well as his unacceptable behavior during matches. There is an emphasis on the necessity of officially publishing the penalty to ensure general discipline.

With these compelling documents revealed by Captain Bassem Qassem, the administration's claims about the absence of disciplinary measures have fallen apart, making it clear to the sports public and Al Zawraa fans the extent of the diligence and strictness with which coach Adafah managed his technical affairs with the team, providing the complete facts without omission for the Iraqi sports community.
