List of Iraqi expatriate footballers

Last updated

Many Iraqis were forced to leave their homeland after the 2003 invasion of Iraq and had started their lives elsewhere. A number of young Iraqi talents appeared in Europe, North America and Australia with their teams for the age groups, and after their distinction, the technical staff of their clubs decided to transfer them to the first team in the club. They are now known inside Iraq as expatriate players or Iraqi professionals at times, and Iraqi football has many talents in the diaspora, especially those born in Europe, or of Iraqi origin, on the father’s or mother’s side. Some of them represented the national team and the age group teams. Some of them are like the age group teams of those countries.

The 22nd Arabian Gulf Cup was the 22nd edition of the biennial football competition, and took place between 13 and 26 November 2014 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

On January 2, 2016, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia carried out a mass execution of 47 imprisoned civilians convicted of terrorism in 12 provinces in the country. Forty-three were beheaded and four were executed by firing squads. Among the 47 people killed was Shia Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr. This was the largest mass execution carried out in the kingdom since 1980. Nimr al-Nimr was sentenced to death by the Specialized Criminal Court on 15 October 2014 for "seeking 'foreign meddling' in Saudi Arabia, 'disobeying' its rulers and taking up arms against the security forces". His execution was condemned by religious and political figures and human rights groups. The Saudi government said the body would not be handed over to the family. Al-Nimr was very critical of the Saudi Arabian government, and had called for free elections in Saudi Arabia.
