Iraq national team
No call-up for the September–October 2026 international break has been verified from a federation source yet, so the game deals Iraq’s World Cup 2026 squad until one is.
When a squad for the break can be verified from the federation’s own announcement, this page lists it, and the game deals it. Until then, this is the squad Iraq named for the 2026 World Cup, as the game deals it now.
