About Dhurgham Ismail
- Dhurgham Ismail Dawoud Al-Quraishi (Arabic: ????? ??????? ????? ????????; born 23 May 1994), known as Dhurgham Ismail, is an Iraqi professional footballer who plays as a left back or left winger for Iraqi Premier League club Al Shorta and for the Iraq national team. Dhargham Ismail was born on May 23, 1994 in the city of Amarah in Maysan province, in south-eastern Iraq.
- Dhargham had played for the U-17s, U-19s, U-23 and the national side.He left back joined the Iraq FA youth system in 2010 after FA member Yahya Zaghir the secretary of Naft Maysan, where he was a youth player, took the footballer to Iraq U-17 coach Muwafaq Hussein and presented him as “a player from Al-Sadr City,” a city within a city in the Iraqi capital.
- In November 2010, Ismail signed a five-year contract for Al Shorta at the age of 16.Dhurgham was a footballer from the province and for decades the Iraqi youth sides had been dominated by Baghdad-based players, both because of the prejudice against the provincial talent and the close proximity from the youth sides training facilities in the Iraqi capital and with only a few coaches scouting around the country for new talent.
- Yahya Zaghir may have believed it was better for Dhargham to be labelled a player from Baghdad rather than face the prejudice of coming from the provinces.
- Two years later, the gifted left sided defender was the star of the Under 17s side, wearing the No.9 with presenter Haidar Al-Wattar praising him on the MBC channel.
