FIFA names referee for Iraq vs Norway 2026 World Cup
The Ghanaian international referee Pierre Achu is set to officiate the Iraq vs. Norway match at the 2026 World Cup, which will take place during the first round of the group stage. The match is scheduled to kick off on June 17, with a refereeing team that includes assistants Boris Detsuga and Amos Abegny. The Egyptian Ameen Mohamed Omar will serve as the fourth official, while Mahmoud Abu Al-Rajal is assigned as the backup assistant referee. Iraq's national team is participating in the World Cup for the second time, since 1986, and will face the tournament amid unstable security and political conditions. The Iraqi team is increasingly relying on its expatriate players, especially those from Northern Europe, to boost its chances in the competition.
