Al-Qasim football team, which was dubbed the 'dark horse' of the Iraqi league last season by critics, is now in a dire situation, sitting at the bottom of the table in 20th place with only one point. In 22 matches, the team has suffered 21 defeats and managed just one draw. That draw against Al- Najaf was later ruled a loss due to an administrative error. Consequently, Al-Qasim has become the top candidate for relegation from the Iraqi Stars League next season and a return to the Premier League after a continuous series of poor results. The question that arises is: what caused the team to transform from a 'dark horse'...
