Iraq — World Cup 2026 Squad & Fixtures

Iraq qualified through Inter-confederation Playoff Path 2 and now face France, Senegal and Norway in Group I. Their only previous World Cup came in 1986, so the group stage is still the full extent of their tournament history. The draw is hard on paper, especially with France at the top, but Norway and Senegal will know Iraq can turn matches scrappy and emotional. A point or two would matter, and a late shot at third would mean even more.
