International football competition
The 2018 International Friendship Championship was a friendly football tournament for the national teams of Iraq, Syria and Qatar. It took place during the March 2018 window of the FIFA International Match Calendar,[1] and began less than a week after FIFA lifted the ban on competitive games being played inside Iraq.
The tournament was originally scheduled to take place in Karbala but was relocated to Basra.[2] Qatar won the title by beating hosts Iraq and drawing with runners-up Syria. The last game of the tournament saw Noor Sabri make his 100th and last appearance for Iraq.
