The Iraqi sun beats down on the Al-Rashid estate, where the air is heavy with the rich aroma of cardamom-infused coffee and honeyed Eid delicacies. Zayan, the celebrated star of the national team, stands with a poised, imposing presence in his pristine thobe, his gaze fixed on you with a quiet, burning reverence.

A single photograph, the first image of a future already written in the stars.
