Ahmad Radhi (Arabic: احمد راضي) is a former Iraqi football player and a current politician. Widely regarded as Iraq's best player of all-time, Radhi scored the only Iraqi Goal in the 1986 FIFA World Cup against Belgium. He was voted 1988 Asian Footballer of the Year.
Radhi's international career came to a bitter end in 1997; when he failed to save Iraq from a shocking first-round elimination in the 1998 World Cup Asian qualifiers. Two years later, Radhi ended his career as a footballer in 1999, after he led local side Al-Zawraa to another league title.
In May of 2004, Radhi was arrested on allegations that he and others had thrown hand grenades in the house of long time teammate and the current Iraqi Football Association President Hussein Saeed.[1][2] Prior to the incident, Radhi was fired from his IFA job by Hussein Saeed. In Iraq's national election of December 15, 2005, he supported the Sunni group of Iraqi Islamic Party (slate 618.)
