Iraq launches Gulf 27 to chase fifth star
The Iraqi national football team, holder of four previous Gulf Cup titles, is aiming to achieve its fifth title in the 27th edition held in Jeddah, after failing to advance past the group stage in the previous edition in Kuwait in 2024. The team relies on the experience of their Australian coach, Graham Arnold, who hopes to rekindle the team's spirit and achieve good results, despite the absence of many key injured players. Their preparations concluded with short matches without official warm-up games. The participation of professional players is expected to contribute to enhancing performance, with a particular focus on the opening match against Oman. The Iraqi fans hope that the technical performance will reflect the benefits gained from recent World Cup experiences.
