Iraqi child Hussein kidnapped the attention in his country's game against his Yemeni counterpart yesterday evening in the final round of group stage at the West Asian Federation Championship.
The cameras caught a small fan during the match on the stands of Karbala International Stadium, to be the talk of the hour on the sites of communication. Hussein loves his country and is keen to attend all his matches.
Wissam al-Mutairi said Hussein showed great love for his country during all the tournament matches and is the best representative of Iraq.

Another tweet said Hussein's image alone was enough to make FIFA remove the ban on official matches in Iraq.

It is noteworthy that the Iraqi team beat Yemen 2-1 and reached the final of the West Asian Championship, after topping his group with ten points, to strike a date with the leaders of Group B Bahrain in the final next Wednesday.
Ibrahim Baish and Hussein Al-Saidi scored from the penalty spot in the 26th and 31th minute, while Yemen's only goal came in the 90th minute by Abdul Waseet Al Matari.
