Viewing from Iraq
For Iraqi fans in Baghdad (AST, UTC+3), the Norway opener arrives at 01:00 and the France match at midnight. The Senegal finale is the accessible slot: 22:00 Baghdad time, a manageable late evening. Iraqi football runs deep. The 1986 World Cup squad in Mexico remains legendary, and the decades since have produced waves of talented players who kept the dream alive through wars, sanctions, and exile. The current generation, blending domestic league talent with players from European and Gulf clubs, has finally broken through. The Iraqi diaspora spans Sweden, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, and across the Gulf states.
