Submit an appeal

For its part, the Iraqi Football Association announced on Saturday that it had filed an appeal against FIFA’s decision to suspend the youth national team coach, Imad Muhammad.

The Iraqi Federation said in a statement: “At a time when the Iraqi Football Federation received the decision of the International Federation of Association Football to suspend the youth team coach, Imad Muhammad, from training for a period of 6 months, as a result of what it called (directing insults to a female journalist) earlier, the Iraqi Federation said in a statement: Al-Ittihad will continue its defense of the youth team coach, who is awaiting participation in the West Asian Olympic Teams Championship. He is one of the important sons of the game who has represented the national teams for many years, and will not spare his efforts in defending him.

An old incident

The Iraqi Football Association is surprised by the “internationalization” of the issue in the way in which the matter reached the International Federation, and resulted in repercussions that ended with the decision to deprive coach Imad Muhammad, while emphasizing that what happened was more than 10 months ago, specifically during the Youth World Cup period that It took place in Argentina last year.

The Federation states that it is awaiting the appeal decision, and looks forward with confidence to the cancellation of the deprivation decision, and the return of youth national team coach Imad Mohamed to training.”
