AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Sports Travel: The AFC has postponed the Saudi-hosted Asian Cup to Dec. 23, 2027–Jan. 21, 2028, citing regional security and travel disruptions. Iraq remains in Group D with Australia, Singapore and Tajikistan; FIFA approval is pending. Regional Aviation: Arab airline leaders met in Doha to discuss keeping flights reliable amid conflict, with Iraq among the countries covered by active aviation risk advisories. Pilgrimage Tourism: Iraq and Syria are considering organized visits to the Sayyida Zaynab shrine near Damascus, a move that could revive local businesses, though no schedule or final agreement has been announced. Domestic Getaways: Plans for Al-Habbaniyah resort include a hotel and 377 chalets, while Halabja’s annual pomegranate festival opened with more than 500 stalls. Pilgrim Routes: The Iran-Iraq land border has been closed to pilgrims, adding a hurdle for religious travel.
