Painful: Legendary footballer dies, lost the battle with Corleone

Ahmed Radi was hospitalised in Baghdad a week earlier, testing positive for COVID-19. He left Thursday when his health improved.

But that improvement was short-lived, and he returned to the hospital on the same day.

Raji is one of the best goalsmen of the Iraqi National, while marking Iraq's only goal in the 1986 World Cup against Belgium (1:2).

He had fled Iraq to Jordan in 2006, but was back after a year to engage in politics.

Iraq has officially recorded 30,000 cases of infection, while changing lives over a thousand people.
