I Flew To Iraq For Their Most Important Football Match

🇮🇶
Join me for an incredible match day in Basra as we watch the Iraqi football in their most important football matches to date over Indonesia! The day starts at Iraq's most expensive hotel, where both teams are staying, giving us a little sneak at what goes on pre-game.

Follow along as we head to the stadium, arriving three hours early—a local tradition that showcases the hype for football in Iraq. Feel the crowd and witness the joy and excitement, a heart-warming sight in a country rediscovering its love for international sports post-war.

Throughout the day, experience the warm hospitality of Iraqi supporters who are happy to share their food and drink with an Irish freeride. From the first whistle to the last goal, be part of the roaring crowd and the celebrations that follow Iraq's emphatic win.
