Zidan Iqbal, who steals the colors of Iraq's national team, is preparing to write his name in history and give Pakistan a team to root for on the biggest football stage in the world.

On Wednesday, the great loss of the English Manchester United, and the Dutch Utrecht's Zidan Iqbal is preparing to go down in the history of the World Championships.

If the 23-year-old football player entered the field of the Iraqi national football team, this moment would become truly monumental for the fans of Pakistan - fifth for the size of the population of the region of the world, whose national team is by no means.

Pakistan currently sits 198th in the FIFA World Rankings and has only played one qualifying match in its entire history.. Until this moment, it is not possible for the locals to support the gravel from their roots at the World Championships.

Zidan Iqbal was born in Manchester. She is of Pakistani descent on her father's side and Iraqi on her mother's side.. The football player knows that there will be a lot of health if he learns about his unique historical status.

" I subscribed to the account that was published and immediately sent the news to my father. I guess we were offended, even if I managed to qualify for the World Championship with Iraq, I didn’t think about anything like that,” Iqbal said in an interview with BBC Sport.

The drunkard reinforces his deep respect for both lines of his homeland. This pride is literally depicted on his in-game equipment: On his left boot Iqbal wears the ensign of Iraq. The ensign of Pakistan is depicted on the right boot.

" Let’s talk about the honor that I carry with great pride,” adding gravec.

The route of Iraq's national team to the current World Cup will be of interest. The team completed the marathon qualifying series with 21 matches - the most among all participating countries. The first appearance of Iraqis at the World Championships since 1986, which was also symbolically held in Mexico.

At the group stage, the national team of Iraq checks the extremely difficult testing, and also resists: France - domestic champions of the world. Norway is a team with stars of the world level, such as Erling Goland and Martin Edegor. Senegal - finalists of the African Cup of Nations.

In the face of terrible competition, Iqbal is optimistic and does not feel the psychological pressure.

" Mi demo tudi without vice. Mi outsiders. Because we are programmed, people will realize that we are programmed. If we can overcome, we will shock the world. If you recover and work hard, football can have everything that’s good for it,” summed up Zidan Iqbal.
