🇮🇶 Iraq

Iraq are a proud Asian side with a famous continental triumph. An AFC side, they enter the 2026 World Cup rated 1640 — 43rd of the 48 teams — in Group I.

Asian Cup champions in 2007 in one of the game's great underdog stories. Combative and spirited, competing through organisation and determination.

Drawn alongside France, Senegal and Norway, their toughest group test on paper is the meeting with France. Our model projects them to finish 4th in the group and to fall short of the knockout rounds.
