After a 22-year absence, Ipswich Town is back in the English Premier League, concluding an exceptional season with a decisive victory this Saturday. Ipswich won their final match of the Championship against Huddersfield with a score of 2-0, securing second place in the standings and guaranteeing direct promotion to the Premier League.
The "Blues" excelled this season thanks to a balanced squad, featuring two significant Arab players: the Egyptian captain Sam Morsy and the crucial substitute Iraqi striker Ali Al-Hamadi. The veteran Morsy, 32 years old, has become one of the most important pillars of Ipswich this season, serving as the linchpin of the midfield and participating in 90 percent of the team's matches, relied upon for initiating attacks and receiving passes from the defense. Meanwhile, Al-Hamadi, a young striker at just 22, joined Ipswich during the winter transfer window from Wimbledon and has been pressured to contribute goals and lead the team to the Premier League.
