Captain Mohammed Fathi, supervisor of football at Mosul Sports Club, called on the concerned authorities, headed by the University of Mosul, to expedite the completion of the university stadium so that the club can play matches in the second stage of the Iraqi Premier League on its home ground .
This came after the club’s victory yesterday over the league leader, Al-Gharraf Club, in a match held at Akre Stadium .
Fathi confirmed in a statement to “Mosul Time” radio that Mosul “is the only team in the Iraqi Premier League that is forced to play all its matches outside the city .”
