Some nations return with a story bigger than football. Iraq are one of them. For the first time since 1986, after forty years of waiting, the Lions of Mesopotamia are back at a World Cup. No wonder the Iraq World Cup shirt is one of our most searched terms.
Quick Answer: Iraq play the World Cup 2026 for the first time since 1986 and sit in Group I with France, Senegal and Norway. The home shirt is green with white details in the national colours. You can buy the home and away shirt on our Iraq page, with delivery in the Netherlands and Belgium.
How special is Iraq's return to the World Cup?
Iraq appeared at one World Cup before, in Mexico 1986. Since then the country grew into a fixture in Asia, with a 2007 Asian Cup title as the highlight, but a World Cup ticket stayed out of reach for forty years. In 2026 it finally works out. For the large Iraqi and Kurdish community in the Netherlands and Belgium that is a moment to celebrate, and to stand visibly behind the team.
Which group are Iraq in at the World Cup 2026?
Iraq are in Group I, with France, Senegal and Norway. A tough draw against three strong nations. Against Norway and the goals of Haaland it became 1-4, but Iraq showed character and scored themselves too. Playing on this stage is already a win for this generation, and the experience is theirs to keep.
What does the Iraq home shirt look like?
The home shirt is green with white details, the classic colour of the national team. It is a shirt that radiates calm and is instantly recognisable on the stand. The light, breathable fabric and the neat regular fit make it comfortable for the warm World Cup evenings, whether you watch in a cafe or at home on the couch.
Who are Iraq's star players?
Striker Ali Al-Hamadi is the face of this generation, a forward who has found his way in Europe and can make the difference. Under head coach Graham Arnold, who earlier took Australia to the World Cup, Iraq play organised and fierce. It is a team that gives little away and thrives on the energy of its own support.
Is there an Iraq away shirt too?
Yes. Alongside the green home shirt there is an Iraq away shirt for those who want the complete kit or simply prefer the lighter variant. You will find both on the Iraq collection, where you can see at a glance what is in stock.
