A serious statement has prompted numerous reactions in Iraq, as a member of the Al-Shart club’s management board has been threatening Hammarby’s attacker, Montgomery Evend, on the heels of his decision to reject the Iraqi National invitation.
Adi al-Rubaie made the statement during a TV show in Iraq, where he reacted sharply to the 21-year-old footballer’s decision not to join the representative during the upcoming international holiday.
Anyone who does not respect my country’s name will be executed, Al-Rubaie said, according to reports by German t-online media.
When the moderator asked him if his reaction was excessive, he firmly replied: No, it’s not excessive.
According to Swedish media, the Iraqi official also believes that even he should stop playing for the Iraqi National.
The statement has prompted strong reactions, while the Iraqi Football Federation has strongly condemned the language used. Ahmed Al-Fasluji, responsible for double citizenship football players in the framework of the federation, described the threat as disgusting and called for taking legal measures against the person responsible.
This is disgusting and must be taken legal steps against the person who made this statement, he said of the Swedish medium Swed24.
So far, neither even even his club, Hammerby, has reacted publicly to the threat. The footballer himself had earlier declared that he was in a difficult situation with the Iraqi National, as the issue had not yet been clarified.
The relationship between the Ethiopian and Iraqi representative has been strained since the beginning of this year. The attacker, who had formerly played for the Swedish age groups, had decided in 2023 to represent Iraq.
The situation became worse because a video was published on social networks, in which people close to football player ridiculed the Iraqi representative. Later, even admitted to Swedish SVT television that he had made some mistakes.
After these developments, he was not involved in the Iraqi World Cup team.
The signal where the truth speaks before the news!
