SBS acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country and their connections and continuous care for the skies, lands and waterways throughout Australia.
Australian coach Graham Arnold has steered Iraq's national team back onto the world stage for the first time in 40 years and their second ever appearance in the tournament.
Such is his hero status that football officials tried to get him citizenship, but the story of how he got there is unexpected.
Arnold is the first Australian coach to take teams to two World Cups, guiding the Socceroos to Qatar in 2022 before switching allegiances.
Over the course of 28 months, with eight spent living in Baghdad, he's taken the squad through an arduous 21 qualifying games complicated by grounded flights out of the Middle East.
Australian has had to contend with war, 50C heat and playoffs to steer country to a first World Cup in 40 years
Twenty-eight months, 21 games, four rounds, a 117th-minute penalty and a playoff. A coach stuck in Dubai where he watches war start over the water, bombs shaking everything. A team trapped in Baghdad first and Jordan next, missiles flying around them. A scrambled 9,000-mile trip to Mexico where it all rests on one night, the very last country to make it. And, when they do finally land, the hero whose goal took them there is held up by the FBI and the man whose photographs are due to document history is turned back. There may never have been a journey to a World Cup quite like Iraqâs.

In this context, Malaysia is focusing on monitoring the evolving situation, assessing potential risks, and aligning its responses with guidance from international aviation and tourism authorities.Malaysia’s Official Stance-Official statements from the Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Wisma Putra) confirm that Malaysia is monitoring the situation and advising its citizens in the Middle East. However, these statements emphasize safety and contingency planning, not a joint initiative with Israel. In fact, Malaysia continues to lead international efforts to pressure Israel legally and diplomatically.
KUALA LUMPUR, March 2 — Malaysia Airlines has confirmed that all its flights to and from London and Paris are operating as scheduled.
In a statement posted on its official Facebook page, the national carrier said services to the two European destinations remain unaffected.

Jordan head into the quarter-finals with a perfect record of three wins, comfortably securing the top spot in Group C. Their strong campaign opened with a 2-1 victory over the UAE, followed by convincing wins against Kuwait (3-1) and Egypt (3-0)—extending the incredible momentum they’ve built since reaching the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023 final.
Their resurgence didn’t stop there. Jordan later celebrated a historic milestone by qualifying for the FIFA World Cup for the first time, and they are expected to perform at their absolute best in the knockout stage.
On the other side, Iraq enter the matchup hungry to rebound after finishing second in Group D. They booked their quarter-final berth with solid wins against Bahrain (2-1) and Sudan (2-0), though they stumbled in their final group game with a 2-0 loss to defending champions Algeria.
NEWSROOM — Iraq national soccer team coach Graham Arnold said the squad is fully prepared, both mentally and physically, for Friday’s Arab Cup quarterfinal against Jordan, emphasizing confidence in his players.
Speaking at a pre-match press conference in Doha, Arnold said, “The players are mentally and physically ready to give their best in tomorrow’s match. We are going into the game with full readiness and will give everything to secure victory.â€
Arnold noted the absence of Hussein Ali due to a red card and acknowledged other injuries but said such challenges are part of football. He added that the tournament has been an important opportunity to identify the best lineup.
Iraq holds a clear historical edge over Jordan, boasting 21 wins in 34 official and friendly meetings, compared to just 8 Jordanian victories and 5 draws. This dominance has spanned several decades, confirmed time and again across numerous regional and international competitions.
In recent years, however, the dynamic has occasionally shifted. Jordan notably caused an upset at the 2024 Asian Cup, clinching a dramatic 3-2 win in the round of 16 (January 29, 2024), before Iraq reclaimed the upper hand in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers with a 1-0 victory on June 10, 2025. In between, several tightly contested clashes—including a 2-2 draw in a friendly (October 2023)—have underscored the growing parity between the two sides.
