Congratulations to the Iraqi people and the sports community, this event that was absent from Iraq since 1979 and returned to us after great longing and greater waiting. Here is the opportunity to prove to the world the good organization and quality of Iraqi stadiums, the provision of the required requirements, and the creation of the appropriate environment and conditions to embrace the brothers in their homes again.

In addition to the sportsmanship that the Iraqis possess, and their self-sacrifice in order to honor the guest, hearts are open before homes and hotels, and this is what distinguishes Iraqis from other peoples.

Holding the Gulf Cup in Basra is an Iraqi entitlement and a high-level challenge to the central and local government and the associated and supporting authorities. In our turn, we, the #Dean_of_College_Physical_Education_and_Sport_Science, harness our great efforts, facilities of our college, and the expertise and science of our teachers for the success of this course, which will raise the name of Iraq among the countries of the world.
