The eyes of Iraqi football fans are set on Karbala Stadium to follow the popular classical match between the Baghdad football giants Al-Zawraa and Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, in an anticipated encounter that enjoys widespread attention from the fans of both teams, as part of the seventh round of the first stage of the Iraqi Stars League.
A knowledgeable source stated in a press interview, which I reviewed with "Video News Agency," that it was agreed to divide the stands of Karbala International Stadium equally between the fans of both teams, ensuring a balanced attendance that reflects the civilized image befitting the value of the classical match and the history of the two clubs.
It was also decided that ticket sales for the match would begin at 10 AM on Thursday at the gates of Karbala International Stadium, providing an opportunity for fans to purchase their tickets and attend the match.
As part of the organizational and media preparations for the encounter, a technical conference and a press conference for the match will be held tomorrow evening, Wednesday, at Karbala International Stadium, with the presence of representatives from both teams, technical and security staff, and media outlets.
The match between Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya and Al-Zawraa enjoys significant public and media attention due to its considerable technical and fan value in Iraqi football.
The Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya team is heading to Uzbekistan to face the Uzbek team Neftchi Fergana on Monday, September 14, 2026, as part of the first round of the group stage in the prestigious AFC Champions League.
