Four stadiums in Baghdad and the provinces will host four exciting matches at 9:30 PM this Wednesday, as part of the round of 16 in the Iraqi Football Cup. The defending champion, Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, will visit Al-Najaf, seeking victory to secure a spot in the quarter-finals, relying on its outstanding players and significant morale boost from positive results that placed the team at the top of the Iraqi Professional League at the end of the first phase. On the other hand, Al-Ghazlan Al-Badia aims to leverage the home advantage and their fans to halt the Eagles' successes and eliminate them early from the competition.
In a second match, Zakho will host Al-Police in a challenging encounter for both sides, as the host aims to deliver their best performance to reach the next round while Al-Qithara looks to return home with a valuable win to continue competing in the cup. Al-Zawraa will also face Karbala at their home ground, representing a golden opportunity for Al-Nawras to avenge their loss in the league against the same opponent. Finally, today's matches will see Al-Talaba play against Al-Nafit at Al-Shaab International Stadium, in an evenly matched game as both teams seek to secure a spot in the quarter-finals.
