Iraq
Iraq's World Cup history is highlighted by their lone, yet memorable, appearance in 1986. During that tournament in Mexico, the 'Lions of Mesopotamia' showcased their determination on the global stage, with Ahmed Radhi scoring the nation's first-ever World Cup goal against Belgium. Despite the challenges faced by the country over the decades, the Iraqi national team has remained a symbol of hope and unity, consistently challenging the top teams in Asia. Their successful qualification for the 2026 tournament, secured through the Inter-confederation playoffs, marks a triumphant return and a testament to their enduring footballing spirit.
