Football & Fear in Iraq Under Uday Hussein
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Iraq have only ever qualified for the FIFA World Cup once, in 1986, when the Iraqi Football Association was headed up by Uday Hussein, the son of Iraq's infamous President at that time.
In this short documentary video, HITC Sevens takes a look back at Uday Hussein's reign of fear whilst presiding over the Iraqi FA, Olympic Committee, and national team, in addition to the Iraqi Premier League team he founded.
I salute how good your research is. From an Iraqi, I know these stories and I respect how you represented these stories accurately.
Thanks Isa.
Hope you qualify for the world cup. It would be good for your country.
I knew you’d comment.
Ali Fadhil 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Someone I know finds me in the comments section: “A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.”
This footballer provides fascinating insight into Uday's maniacal methods. He made them walk home from Kazakhstan!

Good to see that this part of Iraqi-and general football-history is getting some recognition
Ahmed Laith Tito football did a video on the 2007 AFC Championship tea,.
Love that you have been releasing documentary style videos so frequently recently, been pretty popular as well. Please make a video talking about babyluigi95's idea on covering Guadalajara "Mexican-only" policy. (since Athletic Bilbao's basque only policy has been covered quite a bit) Think it would make for an interesting video.
Are you referring to Chivas Guadalajara or another from from Guadalajara? Because if you are talking about Chivas then this is new to me.

98% upvote. That's a sign these videos are highly appreciated Alfie
My dad would tell me stories about how the national team players would all miraculously start the new league season bald after having failed in an international tournament. People in Iraq were aware of the brutality but only after he died did we truly understand the full magnitude of Uday's cruelty.
He truly was a sickening tyrant.
I appreciate you making a video on a subject that hasn’t been really known to the world, Uday has destroyed Iraqi football and you making a video about such an important topic to Iraqis educates many people who don’t know about misery of Iraqi Football and Iraqis. With your respectable audience this will help spread awareness to Iraqi Football. Thank you and keep it going!
No need to thank me, Haider. Thank you for fighting for a brighter future, both on and off the pitch. Best wishes, Alfie.
It's rare to find videos covering the dark consequences of dictatorships in football, especially the obscure tales that get overshadowed by the whole regime's history. Love that Alfie's has gone out of his way to make quite a few already, keep it up!!
Still better than usa puppet government
@@eavyeavy2864 shut up sand monkey
Khalid Almulla I think Roy Keane would've fit in nicely with Uday's squad and attitude
@@eavyeavy2864Hussein's Iraq was literally an American puppet government until he wanted to use oil profits to help modernize Iraq. Then suddenly he was deemed "anti-West" by Bush and W Bush.
I'm from Iraq so I'm very thankful that you have done a video like this
I've been a subscriber scince you had 50k so thanks for this unexpected surprise 🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶⚽️⚽️
Thanks for covering a video about my country, very much appreciated and I'll share my view as soon as I finish watching. The video is exciting !
I really like these football history videos and the fact that you cover some lesser known but really interesting stories.
Excellent video.
I think you handled the matter very well, as always. I'm really liking these untold stories about football. Please make more.
These documentaries are my faves so i would love to see more
I don’t know why these videos don’t do very well because these are incredibly intriguing, informative, and interesting topics and videos
Lol imagine if their contracts had torture and death performance clauses. Madness
Not really a 'lol' but it would be really bad
@@joshquinn4964 I lol at everything. But obviously it's fucked up
Do a video about Ali Deai . The player who scored the most international goals in history
Cristiano Ronaldo will beat him as the all time international scorer
Hehehehehehehehehehehehheejehhehhehehehehehehehehhehehehehehehehehhehehhehehhehhehehrhrhrhrhehhrh he players in shit league he sho shut hahahahaha hehehehehehehehehehehehheejehhehhehehehehehehehehhehehehehehehehehhehehhehehhehhehehrhrhrhrhehhrh
@ I never knew the Euros was a shit league
@ I'd rather watch the euros where you can get surprise winners than watch the Serie A where Juventus always win
Ali Daei is Iranian not Iraqi
Just wanna applaud you for being a stand up honest journalist in this day and age
Absolutely amazing video, one of my favourites so far. This is what makes HITC sevens stand apart from other football channels.
Great video! That poor poor nation and that poor poor team. I would love to see Iraq make it back to the world cup and give them some new and wholesome football memories for a change
Love to Iraq from 🏴 🤝 🇮🇶
Another interesting topic that could be similar to this is about Gadafi in Lybia and organising a match in the 1980’s against an Ireland XI managed by future Ireland manager Brian Kerr as a front for Lybia smuggling guns for the I.R.A. in Northern Ireland during the Troubles.
A documentary was done by RTÉ about it and was very interesting.
Love these documentary style videos mate, their very well researched and produced.
What Uday Hussein did to people probably couldn't be talked about on here, he was so much worse than his dad who was bad but not as bad as his son
Winston Churchill was a piece of shit too, but he’s celebrated to this day. He was a racist classist elitist prick, and yet his strongest supporters today are the working class centre right, people he detested.
G M I agree their saying he fought for his country when in reality he didn’t he was fighting for his life as he was being in a battle . The Iraqi soldiers that fought are the ones . That fought for their life
Saddam hussein wasnt bad
The thing is Saddam was constantly fearful of being overthrown, so whilst he was brutal it was mostly calculated repression and targeted against opposition to his rule. Qusay Hussein was the more sensible of the two brothers and was in line to inherit the presidency of Iraq and head of the Ba’ath Party from his father once Saddam passed, despite Qusay being the younger sibling (although this would mean that he could outlast his brother in a sense). Uday didn’t have to worry about any of that since he was so sadistic and batshit crazy that Saddam took him out of the running. Uday didn’t have to worry about any of that stuff with ruling and literally gunned down his own uncle for insulting him at a party which is infamous in Iraqi history.
My husband is Iraqi and he loves football and his country. He dreams of a safe and peaceful Iraq when his family is safe and we can visit regularly. Also: Udai Hussain was was such a demonic sh!tbag that even his homicidal maniac father didn’t like him. Damn.
Love these videos you’ve been putting out Alfie. Keep them coming
That closing message ✊🏽 I’ve never been a huge fan of yours but I appreciate you using your platform to deliver that message and to bring awareness to causes/events that are generally swept aside.
Great video. A history on Iranian football would be interesting too as they are one of the best in the region
Do a mini documentary on the civil war which was supposedly stared at a Dinamo Zagreb football match when the country gained independence
The final words were amazing, Alfie! ❤️
These documentary style videos are brilliant.
Yesss Alfie loving the world football history videos, more of this please! Especially outside of Europe and South America.
This is your best video ever. By a country mile. It's a shame these documentary style videos aren't better received more widely
I marvel at the level of dedication you put towards your work, esp videos of this nature. We really appreciate your efforts, keep it up.
I love history and football
So these types of videos are nice
KEEP IT UP ALFIE
Even though this vid doesn't get as much views as the other videos just know that some people are in intrested in these type videos
I like them and i hope you too Alfie
#documentry_style_vids
Thank you so much for this video it is amazing , tearful yet joyful and totally true all the love for you from Iraq thank you som much again 🖤🖤🖤
Here after the q&a!
Such a good blend and so interesting, don't get how these videos don't get more views 👍
Man, even in football our country suffered a lot.
Thanks for finally talking about iraq 🇮🇶
Lots of love brother from us Iraqis
Vid Idea: go through every world cup and pick the biggest surprise from that tournament
Good idea
1966 North Korea
Ireland 1990 world cup..didnt win a game in normal time yet still got to the quarter finals 🤣🤣
11:47 Gotta say, that is a very impressive club crest.
Big fan of your videos Alfie, specially the ones that cross the murky waters from Football to Politics. Few suggestions for other videos...
•How Shakhtar Donetsk have adapted playing away from Home (liked your video a few months bk regarding the Brazilian affinity the club has enjoyed);
•What has been the impact of Andre Villas-Boas at Marseille;
•Players who’ve reinvented themselves abroad in recent times i.e. Andre-Pierre Gignac, Steven Caulker and Chris Smalling;
•Older and traditionally unsung players who’ve enjoyed a career ‘Indian Summer’ in recent times i.e. Ciro Immobile, Josip Ilicic, Rouwen Hennings, Dieumerci Mbokani, Pablo Hernandez and Dusan Tadic;
•Players not yet internationally capped at senior level i.e. Adama Traore, Jack Grealish, Dayot Upamecano;
•Up and coming players for Qatar ahead of the 2022 World Cup;
•Can Canada become a serious International force with the likes of Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David influencing?;
•How Vietnam and/or South Korea worked to bring their domestic leagues back following Covid-19.
This is why we watch this channel. AH is smart, informed, knowledgeable, kind. I wish I had been like that (or all people, really) in my early 20s. Further videos on football and humanitarianism follow this theme.
People say football is just a game and in some respects it is. But it also has a capacity to unite and bring people together in a way that few other sports can.
Hahaha love how you exposed the fake portrayal of Churchill. He has a cult following in the UK.
Talk about the story of Andres Escobar in 1994
Yes this needs to be done.
Here from the recommendation in the Q+A you're right this is really good.
Yesssss!! Love the story time ones I’m pausing this to make a coffee and an get me AirPods to enjoy this
Saddam had different plans for Uday though - as his eldest son, he wanted him to actually rule Iraq. But then he saw that Uday was in fact way too violent even for Saddam's own standarts of violence.
Thanks again for another fantastic video and topic and though I knew a fair bit about this it is great to see such a topic being brought up given the current climate of fear
DO GREECE EURO 2004 WIN!
Every Man Utd goalkeeper since Peter Schmeichel, where are they now?
Excellent as always 👍
Talk about Venezuela and Chavez
Venezuela football is a laughing stock in South America because Baseball was the popular sport in the country.
As far as i know Chavez didn't do something related to football
Gerald Clyde Abella it’s kind of good though and there’s no state ran teams
I’m pretty sure he cared more about baseball rather than football
I came here right after his most recent Q&A, just because he said he really enjoyed working on this one and not a lot of people watched it.
I am starting to love these documentaries videos more and more
If you want to learn more about how evil Uday was. I'd suggest you watch the Uday Hussein video in Count Dankula's Abdolute Mad Lads series
With a pinch of tasteful and topical political humour👏🏿
Love this video im from kurdistan iraq and you have nice points
@ wdym
Thanks Yahya, but it's me that should be thanking you for all the Kurds have done. Know that you still have many allies in the west who are ashamed of the way in which we have abandoned you. Solidarity, Yahya.
Really appreciate the educational value of these longer form, politically enlightening videos
Loved the video. from Pakistan.
Would like to see more comments from older Iraqi people who experienced Iraqi football under Uday.
This sort of videos are very good, because everyone can make fancy list and talk about xG and stuff like that, but only true footbal channels would cover the story of Iraq and football. Enjoyable and teachable at the same time:) Keep up the good work Alfie, greetings from Norway
Hey dunno who is calling you out but man, Idk what they are going for. You make AMAZING content about non covered stories that other youtubers or channels could only dream of. Keep doing this insanely good videos about things you like. Great content and great knowledge overall and having seen football for a long while, in your channel I always either learn more or put things I knew into another perspective. Thanks for the videos and keep covering these amazing football stories like you only know how. Thanks
Uday flew into a rage...
Best overseas homegrown XI in premier league. (This means players that played for more than 3 years in England before the age of 21.)
Hah! Always enjoy the sass, and the Empire is always ripe for your brand of sarcasm.
"Ersatz" - great word choice.
" Attempts to win the Iraq people over by the the use of fire bombs and mustard gas," Brilliant :)
Always enjoy these historic football videos.Thanks for the research and time to put out the Content.Regardless of how we feel about certain leaders or regimes, we can all agree that football is the beautiful game,and the beauty comes out when players are allowed to express themselves on the field, showcasing their beautiful skills.
This video deserves more views.
Great video.
My best documentary yet
Day 3: Cover the situation in Bulgaria where CSKA Sofia verse CSKA 1948 today. It's the first Bulgarian match with two teams with the same name and city.
I will do at some stage, Ilko.
How about Irish football being split into the FAI and the IFA, and the decades of hatred between Irish and Northern Irish football teams?
Loved this video. Great research, mate!
Seven players that you think would make exceptional managers (also if they are not in the video could you cover Messi and Ronaldo)
Love these vidoes man, keep smashing it!
This was another top video Alfie.
Haven't finished but already know this vid is a banger
Should do a Video about Colonel Gadaffi, his son played in Italy and for the Libyan National Team, sure Gadaffi invested in Juventus at one point
🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶❤️
🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶
As an American viewer, I love it when a non-American takes a shot at Donald Trump 😂
Day 3: premier league table if teams could only use academy products
Good idea
1st Southampton
Or currently
Arsenal
@@coreymurphy4657 Chelsea
@@coreymurphy4657 Or Liverpool
As an Iraqi my self I hope I get to see them in the world cup.
Imagine if Gareth Bale and Mesut Ozil refused to play in that 1980's Iraq team.
Fate would be sealed either way , sooner or later ! Best to have two left feet . Scary stuff .
What a mad lad
I love your videos man
Something I thought could be an interesting video could be 7 best national teams with domestic leagues that don't reflect how good said national team are. I.e. Wales and the Welsh Premier League etc. Also this video was absolutely cracking, keep up the great work!
Belgium,Brazil etc
Most aggressive XI players with the most bookings in the top five European leagues
Ramos
ممكن يتكلم ملخص الفيديو لان مافي ترجمة
Do a video about the Disgrace of Gijon
You should do 1 video with 7 x short 1 min video ideas for future documentaries and get viewers to vote.
Love videos like this
very interesting topic, thanks!
I'm an Iraqi 🇮🇶❤️Do you know Ali Adnan, Vancouver's Canadian player?
I love videos like this.
I hope Iraq will be at a world cup soon.
7 managers with most ballon d'or winners
I look forward to the future father-son talk of “don’t murder anyone or I will make you live in Switzerland in exile” I will have with my son someday.
Only 10 k views this guy deserves at least 10 times that
Loved the video, on a similar topic, would it be worth doing a video on the involvement of the Gaddafis in football (one of Muammar's sons was a professional who played a couple of games in Serie A)
A player who everyone thought would flop but became amazing. Could be a 7 or 11
