Noor Sabri

Sabri announced his retirement from international football many times, adding that the reason is to allow young players an opportunity to represent the Iraqi national team. In March 2018, he returned to the national team to play his 100th match.

On 24 June 2018, Noor Sabri joined Saudi club Hajer.

He was quickly back on the sidelines as the team played in the subsequent 2001 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina, where they failed to progress beyond the group stage. However, although he served as a back-up to Jaber with the national youth team, Sabri proved a fast learner at the club level and went from strength to strength with Iraqi first division side Al-Zawraa. He saved two penalties in the 2002 WAFF Championship semi-final penalty shootout to help Iraq eliminate rivals Iran on their way to the title. His improvement impressed German coach Bernd Stange so much that the youngster was called into the team that eventually booked a surprise berth to the 2004 Summer Olympics. He started in all six of Iraq's games during their campaign and performed admirably as Iraq stormed into the last four. He won the Damascus International Championship in 2005 with Al-Talaba when they defeated Al-Zawraa 5–4 on penalties in the final with Noor saving two penalties and scoring one himself in the shootout. Like many of his team-mates on the Olympic squad, Sabri graduated to the country's senior team. He went on to make the No. 1 jersey his own in the ensuing years and was part of the side that earned Iraq's maiden continental title in 2007, conceding just two goals throughout Iraq's title-winning campaign.

Noor Sabri belongs to the country's golden generation that was nurtured by Adnan Hamad. He broke on to the Asian scene in the AFC Youth Championship 2000, when he warmed the bench until the final game against Japan. Despite serving as the replacement for the suspended first choice Ahmed Ali Jaber, Sabri earned praise for keeping Iraq in contention before Emad Mohammed scored the title-winning goal.

Noor Sabri Abbas Hasan Al-Bairawi (Arabic: نور صبري عباس حسن البيداوي ‎), simply known as Noor Sabri (born 6 June 1984 in Baghdad Iraq) is an Iraqi former professional goalkeeper. He last played for Najaf in the Iraqi Premier League. He played for the Iraqi national team and retired in 2018.
