Turkey 2013 is where Iraq first got to know him, cutting in off the by-line to score against England as the under-20 side went all the way to the semi-finals and finished fourth. Named Asia's young player of the year for 2013, he became the first Iraqi in Serie A, debuting for Udinese in a 1-0 win at Juventus in August 2015 and won 94 caps, with another fourth place at the 2015 Asian Cup. Career record: club career at Baghdad, Çaykur Rizespor, Udinese Calcio.
Iraq · 1986–2001 · CM
Evaristo de Macedo left him out of Iraq's squad for Mexico 1986, judging him too inexperienced for a World Cup. Two years later Iraq won the Gulf Cup in Saudi Arabia and Jafar was voted the tournament's best player, the peak of 71 caps and 16 goals stretched from 1986 to 2001 across Al-Talaba, Al-Rasheed and a long Qatari spell; a red card against Iran in 1994 qualifying cost him the decider with Japan. Career record: 92 caps and 27 goals for Iraq; club career at Talaba SC, Al-Karkh SC, Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya.
The almanac puts Habib Jafar ahead by 1 rating point, 83 against 82.
