Al Akhdar equaled Mauritania in points balance, with three points each, while goals outweighed the green balance to top the first group.

It is planned that the coach of our team, Saleh El-Mohammadi, will depend on the composition of the players with whom he played in the opening match against Mauritania, with an attempt to decide the match ahead of schedule.

On the other hand, the Iraqi team is looking to protect their chances of advancing to the next round, especially since a loss means their early exit from the tournament. Imad Muhammad, Iraq’s youth coach, is expected to pay the following squad:
Hussein Hassan (goalkeepers), Abbas Manea, Muhammad Qassem, Abbas Majid, Sajjad Muhammad, Amir Muhammad, Abdul Razzak Qasem, Ali Shahwan, Zulfikar Younes, Baland Azad, Abdul Qader Younesi Ayub.
