FIFA World Cup: Iraq Football Association chief Adnan Dirjal has confirmed on Sunday that the team will take part in the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 intercontinental play-off, which will be held in Monterrey, Mexico, on March 31.

The Middle East airspace has been closed since February 28 after US-Israeli strikes began, and Iran counterattacked by launching missiles and drones at the other nearby countries.

Despite the travel problems Iraq football team will travel by private plane to Mexico, which has already granted visas to all the players for the important playoffs.
