Iraqi women’s national team training

While the physical effort on the pitch is intense, the real strength of this team lies in its unity. Despite coming from different cities and backgrounds — Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, Mosul, and beyond — the players are bound by a shared goal: to represent Iraq with pride and elevate women’s football to new heights. The training camp has also highlighted the growing support infrastructure around the team.

Fitness coaches, nutritionists, and sports psychologists are working alongside technical staff to provide a more holistic training experience. This level of investment signals a new era — one where women’s football in Iraq is taken seriously and developed with long-term vision.
