2026 FIFA World Cup Asian qualifications, the Iraqi national football team is prepared to host the South Korean national football team. The Basra International Stadium will host the fierce match between the two teams.
Both countries are ranked in the top four of Group B and continue to hope to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
Iraq has only won one of its last five games (D2 L2) after accumulating seven points from the first three qualifiers (W2 D1). In March, they defeated Palestine 2-1, drew 2-2 at home with Kuwait, and won 1-0 on the road against Oman.
Iraq, now third in Group B and ranked 59th in the world by FIFA, needs just one point from its next two games to advance to the fourth round of qualification.
However, if South Korea defeats Iraq and Jordan loses to Oman, it can claim the top slot in Group B and qualify for the 2026 World Cup, joining neighboring Asian countries Japan and Iran.
