The media coordinator for the Iraqi national team, Mohamed Imad, confirmed today, Monday, that "our national team's match against South Korea will take place without the presence of media and fans." Imad noted that "no stadium has been named yet for the friendly match, which will be held in Abu Dhabi, UAE," adding that "most teams playing their final matches in preparation for the most important event, the Asian Championship, are shrouding their camps in secrecy to prevent competitors from observing their preparations." Imad mentioned that "the team will face Indonesia on the 15th of this month, then meet Japan on the 19th, while concluding the group matches with a game against Vietnam."
