On Wednesday, the 24th round of the Iraqi Stars League for football kicks off, with five matches scheduled to be held in the stadiums of Najaf, Sulaymaniyah, Basra, and Baghdad. At the 'An-Najaf International' stadium, home team Al-Qasim will host Naft. Al-Qasim, playing on their home ground, will aim to stop their ongoing losing streak by securing a win, hoping to find a lifeline that saves them from relegation to the Premier League next season, as they currently sit in 20th place with just one point. Meanwhile, Naft will try to claim the match points to boost their total to 29, which would place them in 13th position. The match at 'Noroz' stadium in Sulaymaniyah will feature Noroz facing off against Graf. Noroz is considered one of the highest-scoring teams in the league.
