Two months later, he came on as Al-Zawraa beat Al-Jawiya to take the 2021 Iraqi Super Cup, his first title at club and senior level.

Muntadher Mohammad joined the Esteghlal team on August 3, 2023 with a two-year contract.

International career

Mohammed has represented Iraq at every single age category, winning three titles and captaining his country from U-18 onwards, and has competed at the AFC Asian Championship and FIFA World Cup at youth level.[4]

Iraq U-14

Muntadher received his first international call-up in 2014, when he travelled to Iran with Iraq's U-14s and won the AFC U-14 Championship, topping their group ahead of South Korea and beating North Korea in the final.[5]

Iraq U-17

In 2015, Mohammed was invited to join Iraq's U-16s in their qualifiers for the 2016 AFC U-16 Championship. He helped Iraq win their group and qualify for the final tournament, where he was called up. He helped Iraq win the tournament, scoring twice and qualifying for the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[6]

In October 2017, Muntadher was called up to the Iraq U-17 squad for the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup. He played in all four of Iraq's matches as they made it to the Round of 16.[7]
