Mohanad Ali

Mohanad Ali is Iraq's most prominent forward in English football, having joined Ipswich Town in 2022 and made enough of an impression to earn a move to Luton in 2025. His time in the Championship gave him exposure to one of Europe's most physically demanding second tiers, developing the aerial presence and hold-up play that suits Iraq's direct attacking approach. Now 24, he is the focal point of the Iraqi attack at international level, offering a target-man option that the squad's more technical players can build around. His English football experience makes him one of Iraq's most recognizable exports.
