Cracovia has its representative at the 2026 World Cup. Amir Al-Ammari, a defensive midfielder, has been called up to the Iraq national team.

Who is Amir Al-Ammari?

Al-Ammari is 28 years old and has already made a name for himself in our country. Before joining the Ekstraklasa, he played in Scandinavia - in clubs from Sweden, where he was born, and Denmark. He went through the junior school of Broendby Kopenhaga. He started his senior career in the Swedish Husqvarna, and came to Cracovia from Halmstad BK.

Architect of Iraq's success

The Iraqi has greatly contributed to the qualification of the Iraq national team for the World Cup. In the final playoffs, his team defeated Bolivia 2:1. Let's recall that Iraq reached the final thanks to a goal from the Cracovia player from a penalty kick in the 17th added minute in the match against the United Arab Emirates, which was in November 2025.

Elsner's compliments

With his performances in the club, the player deserved a call-up. Cracovia's former coach Luka Elsner characterized the player as follows: - Amir is a great player, one of the leaders, gives a lot of defensive stability, is one of the best players in the league in terms of ball reception near his own penalty area and wants to develop.
