Iraq cancel Tunisia friendly
Iraq have cancelled a friendly with World Cup finalists Tunisia for administrative reasons, the Tunisian Football Federation has announced.
The Carthage Eagles were due to play Iraq on 7 June at their World Cup base in Schweinfurt in Germany.
The Iraqis were replacing Kuwait who had pulled out.
"The Iraqi team will not be able to fly to Germany for the match because of administrative problems," a Tunisian federation spokesman said.
Tunisia are in Group H at the World Cup finals alongside Saudi Arabia, Spain and Ukraine.
Their campaign gets under way on 14 June against Saudi Arabia.
