The Federation stated in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that “the President of the AFC, Salman bin Ibrahim, did not file a complaint against the Second Vice President of the Iraqi Football Federation, Younis Mahmoud,” indicating that “the news that was circulated in the various media outlets is baseless.” It has nothing to do with the truth.”
He explained that “what was reported was merely an inquiry by the Disciplinary Committee of the AFC regarding the media statements of the Second Vice President of the Federation after our national team’s last match in the Asian Cup,” pointing out that “these inquiries will be answered officially within the next two days, and that the relationship between… The second vice president of the federation, Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim, is built on the basis of mutual friendliness and respect. He is a person who appreciates Iraqi football and its stars. He granted the second vice president, Younis Mahmoud, the honor of presenting the final cup of the last Asian Championship. Therefore, it is not logical for this baseless news to be addressed in some The media on the basis that Younis Mahmoud was subjected to punishment personally in his capacity as President of the Continental Confederation.”
