Iraq’s 23-man squad for WCQ against Japan

Iraq’s World Cup qualification campaign has been a huge disappointment. Failure, again, to progress to the major tournament has resulted in the dismissal of Radhi Shenaishil. Although the Lions are currently manager-less, reports from Iraqi Professional Players suggest the FA have already decided who will meet up to take on Japan in the next competitive fixture. Here’s a list of the players who according to the network will be in Tehran for the game on June 13:
