Iraq to host coming World Cup qualifiers in Jordan

Iraq had originally wanted to play in the southern city of Basra, where they defeated Hong Kong last month.
Mass protests against corruption and economic problems have gone on for weeks in Iraq with the UN reporting at least 97 people have been killed and thousands injured since October 25.
Iraq currently top their five-strong qualifying group with two teams advancing to the next round in search of places at the 2022 finals in Qatar.
