Ahmed Qasem - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Logs 16-minute start Qasem logged 16 minutes during Iraq's 5-0 loss Friday against Senegal.

Impact Iraq wasted little time pulling players early, which not only includes goalkeeper Ahmed Basil but also the MLS mainstay in Qasem. In the World Cup, he created one cross and attempted a chance, which is not much. Qasem's focus shifts back to the MLS, where he regularly started out wide for Nashville SC before his WC call-up earlier during June.

Creates one chance in defeat Qasem registered one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 3-0 loss to France.

Impact Qasem replaced Ali Jasim in the starting XI for Monday's clash but didn't really find a good chance to threaten the opposition. Furthermore, the Nashville winger won only three of his eight duels over his 90 minutes on the pitch. He'll remain in contention for playing time and might offer some creative value if he plays in the next matchup against Senegal.

Starts in friendly Qasem (knee) started in a preseason friendly match against Colorado on Friday.

Impact Qasem started 12 of 29 appearances in the 2025 MLS season and figures to be a depth piece in midfield once again if he stays healthy.

Officially questionable Qasem (knee) is questionable for Saturday's trip to Miami, per the MLS injury report.

Impact Qasem is on the injury report for game three of the first round due to an knee injury. The midfielder was questionable for the second game in the series as well, and played 11 minutes. It's unclear if his presence on the injury report is a new issue, or just another thing he's been struggling with. Either way, Qasem hasn't started since July and isn't a major piece of the first XI.

Sees time from bench Qasem (ankle) appeared for 11 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 2-1 over Miami.

Impact Qasem was back from his injury this weekend, with the midfielder earning a spot on the bench after five games missed due to the injury. He would earn time late into the game, notching 11 minutes of play to test his legs. He has only started in 12 of his 29 appearances this season and should maintain a rotational role throughout the playoffs.

Questionable for playoffs Qasem (ankle) is questionable for Friday's trip to Miami, per the MLS injury report.

Impact Qasem is in doubt for Friday's clash as he continues to work back from an ankle injury. The midfielder has been deemed questionable for more than a month, so there's some optimism he could finally be ready now that the playoffs are kicking off.

Still on verge of return Qasem (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's match against Houston, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Qasem is going to once again be a late call for Saturday's match, likely needing to pass some testing to be an option to face Houston. He is more of a bench option this season and will likely earn a rotational role if he is fit enough to play.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Orlando Qasem (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's trip to Orlando, per the MLS injury report.

Impact Qasem is on the injury report with a questionable tag, after playing 72 minutes off the bench last time out. Starts have been hard to come by for the midfield, but he's been a consistent presence off the bench throughout the season. If he can get fit, he should be in line for another bench role Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Notches first assist of career Qasem notched an assist in 12 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Columbus.

Impact Qasem tallied the first assist of his young career - his first attacking contribution since mid-March. He has mostly been used as a substitute of late, diminishing his fantasy appeal unless he gets a spot start. Up next is an enticing home match against D.C. United on Saturday.
