Assists for Iraq
Al-Ammari assisted once to go with four crosses (three accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 4-1 loss versus Norway.
Analysis: Al-Ammari provided the cross into the box to for Aymen Hussein, marking Iraq's first World Cup score since 1986. The playmaker displayed significant vision throughout the match, recording an 85 percent pass accuracy, creating three scoring chances, and completing 12 passes into the final third. The midfielder, who currently competes in the Polish top flight, registered one goal and four assists across 33 appearances for Cracovia this season, serving as a vital creative catalyst for Iraq to make a decent push through the group stage.
Set-piece threat
Al Ammari is set to split set-pieces as Iraq head to the 2026 World Cup.
Analysis: Al Ammari is expected to split all free kicks, with a role in any dead ball situation. He will play in the deeper-lying part of Iraq's midfield in open play, which could limit his upside in that aspect, but he could have a decent floor with his set-piece role. The main concern for Al Ammari and any other Iraq players will be the relative strength of the group, as they could struggle to really get a foothold in any of the matches.
