The Iran and Iraq national football teams are sporting rivals since 1962.[1][2][3]

According to The Malay Mail, "Emotions are always high when Iran and Iraq meet on the football pitch".[4]

The most recent match between the two teams was in World Cup qualifier on 27 January 2022 hosted in Iran, where Iran won the game by 1–0.

Origins

The rivalry is not such a football-inspired ill-feeling between the two, but more of geography and history.[5] Iran and Iraq are neighboring countries, that share a long history. In the contemporary era, especially during the reign of Saddam Hussein, the two countries had bad relations.[2][3]

In 2001, an Iran-Iraq match was not held at a neutral venue for the first time in decades.[3]
