Brown Ballers on Instagram: "Zidane Iqbal makes HISTORY as the first player of Pakistani heritage to play in the FIFA World Cup! @zidaneiqbal 

He is making his World Cup debut after previously appearing in 14 international qualifiers and friendly matches for Iraq. ⚽
️
Although he represents Iraq’s national team through his Iraqi mother, Zidane proudly embraces his Pakistani roots through his father, who was born in Pakistan, and his grandfather, who was first-generation Pakistani. To honor his Pakistani roots, Zidane wears the Pakistani flag on his boots. 🇵🇰 🇮🇶
