Career

[edit]

Noor Sabri belongs to the country's golden generation that was nurtured byAdnan Hamad.He broke on to the Asian scene in theAFC Youth Championship 2000,when he warmed the bench until the final game againstJapan.Despite serving as the replacement for the suspended first choiceAhmed Ali Jaber,Sabri earned praise for keeping Iraq in contention beforeEmad Mohammedscored the title-winning goal.

He was quickly back on the sidelines as the team played in the subsequent2001 FIFA U-20 World CupinArgentina,where they failed to progress beyond the group stage. However, although he served as a back-up to Jaber with the national youth team, Sabri proved a fast learner at the club level and went from strength to strength with Iraqi first division sideAl-Zawraa.He saved two penalties in the2002 WAFF Championshipsemi-final penalty shootout to help Iraq eliminate rivalsIranon their way to the title. His improvement impressed German coachBernd Stangeso much that the youngster was called into the team that eventually booked a surprise berth to the2004 Summer Olympics.He started in all six of Iraq's games during their campaign and performed admirably as Iraq stormed into the last four. He won theDamascus International Championshipin 2005 withAl-Talabawhen they defeatedAl-Zawraa5–4 on penalties in the final with Noor saving two penalties and scoring one himself in the shootout. Like many of his team-mates on the Olympic squad, Sabri graduated to the country's senior team. He went on to make the No. 1 jersey his own in the ensuing years and was part of the side that earned Iraq's maiden continental title in2007,conceding just two goals throughout Iraq's title-winning campaign.

Sabri impressed throughout the competition as Iraq reached the semi-final, where they were presented with the daunting task of facing theKorea Republic.The two sides remained level at 0–0 after extra time and a penalty shootout beckoned. After both sides were on target in the first three rounds, Sabri made a decisive save by tipping awayYeom Ki-Hun's shot. AfterKim Jung-Woohit the post in their final attempt, it was Sabri and his team-mates who, against all expectations, progressed to the final.

In March 2016, Sabri announced his retirement from international football,[3]adding that the reason is to allow young players an opportunity to represent the Iraqi national team.[4]In March 2018, he returned to the national team to play his 100th match.[5]
