 The newly elected FIFA president Gianni Infantino has
offered sympathy to the families of the victims in a suicide bombing
at a football match in Iraq.
"I'm shocked and terribly saddened to have learnt about the awful
tragedy, which occurred yesterday at a football game in Iskanderiyah,
Iraq," Infantino said on the FIFA website Saturday.
"Around the world, football unites people. It is a very sad day when
people, going to a match together, become the victims of such
violence.
"On behalf of FIFA and the global football community, I would like to
extend our deepest condolences to the victims' families."
At least 30 people were killed and more than 50 others injured on
Friday in a suicide attack that targeted the match in Babel province,
according to local police.
