During the football competitions, the organizing committee places the flags of all 16 participating Olympic teams at the top of the stadium.

What immediately drew attention was the presence of the Iraqi flag next to the Israeli flag in all the football stadiums .

This prompted the Iraqi delegation to submit a request to the organizers to remove the sraeli flag, which was immediately rejected by the organizing committee.
It is noteworthy that Iraq and Israel participate in the men’s football competitions.
