1 January 2026
Winter Window Moves
Al-Shorta, Iraq's leading police club, announced their first winter signing, bringing Abbas Fadel, a 22-year-old right-back from Naft Maysan, to reinforce the squad.
Fadel signed officially after intensive negotiations and has already featured in six Iraqi Premier League matches this season, also earning a place with the Iraqi Olympic team.
Enzi On Loan and Team Struggles
In parallel, Al-Shorta formally requested to loan Sultan Al-Enzi, the Kuwait national team midfielder for Kazma, until the end of the current season.
Al-Enzi has earned 66 international caps and has previously played for Qadisiyah and Arab in Kuwait, plus stints in Qatar with Al-Khor and Al-Wakrah and in Oman with Dhofar.
Al-Enzi's potential arrival follows the team's recent struggles, including a 5-0 loss to Al-Ahli Saudi in the AFC Champions League Elite and league defeats to Al-Talaba and Amanat Baghdad.
Punchline 1: If winter signings come with a scarf, Al-Shorta might finally stop freezing on the pitch.
Punchline 2: The transfer window is open—may your passes be crisper than Dad's New Year's resolutions.
