The city of Doha will host the Iraq-Iran match at Al-Wakrah Stadium for the FIFA  World Cup Qatar 2022 qualifier.

According to sources quoting Iraqi Sports, the Iraqi national football team will host Iran in its second match in the World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday (September 7th). Iraq has chosen Qatar as the host of its home games due to its hosting problems. Al-Wakrah Stadium has been selected as the host of Iraq’s match with Iran, and thus the game will be held in this stadium.

Iraqi FA has unsuccessfully appealed against FIFA’s decision that the security situation in Iraq is unsafe and hence the Iraq Team has to nominate other venues outside of Iraq to play the home matches.
