Iraq's qualification hopes suffered a major setback after the team's 0-3 defeat to France, the national team's media envoy said on Tuesday.
In a statement, Ali Riah explained that Iraq's chances now hinge on its final group-stage match against Senegal in Toronto on June 26. Senegal also suffered its second defeat of the tournament after losing 3-2 to Norway and remains without a point. The Iraqi team dropped to fourth and last place in the group, while France and Norway secured qualification for the next round.
