Baghdad: The Competitions Committee of the Iraqi Football Association has announced a change in venue for the highly anticipated match between Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya and Al-Zawraa. The game will now take place at Karbala International Stadium, though it will retain its originally scheduled date of next Thursday. The decision comes in response to the unavailability of the city’s international stadium to host the event.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the move to Karbala International Stadium was deemed necessary to ensure the match could proceed as planned, given the circumstances surrounding the original venue. The change highlights the association’s commitment to maintaining the schedule and ensuring the game takes place in a suitable location.
