Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr shirt a big hit on the streets of Baghdad



It’s common that from season to season, teams change their football kits. It may be an altered shade of red, a new shirt sponsor or a design refresh to keep up sales each year.

Sports stores are quick to reflect the changes to match the demand.

But this year, walking through the markets of Iraq’s capital, Baghdad, one change stands out more than any other. A sea of yellow and blue shirts has flooded the market, that of the Saudi Arabian team Al-Nassr FC.
