MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On Friday, at least 40 people were killed and another 95 injured in a suicide bombing at a football stadium south of Baghdad, according to media reports.
"I'm shocked and terribly saddened to have learnt about the awful tragedy, which occurred yesterday at a football game in Iskanderiyah, Iraq. On behalf of FIFA and the global football community, I would like to extend our deepest condolences to the victims' families," Infantino said, as quoted by the FIFA website.
