A major international scandal has emerged as Iraq’s national football team arrives in the United States for the 2026 World Cup finals.
Details: Upon landing at Chicago airport, Aymen Hussein, Iraq’s leading striker, underwent an intense security check by US border authorities.
The footballer was officially detained for a thorough investigation and spent seven hours in a special control area, while the rest of the delegation proceeded through standard procedures without incident.
