A product of Al-Jazeera, he later moved to Al-Wehdat, where he gained recognition as a versatile midfielder. Earned him a move this season to Al-Zawraa in the Iraqi league. His forward runs and willingness to shoot make him a constant threat. Scored a stunning long-range goal against Tunisia in November and is looking forward to facing Argentina this summer. “First of all, I am a Barcelona fan and for me, Lionel Messi is the greatest player in football history,” he said recently. “All the national team players wish for Messi to participate in his very best form and for the Argentina team to be at full strength.”
