This is the horrifying moment that a cowardly suicide bomber detonated a suicide belt as players and fans gathered for a post-match trophy presentation.
The blast killed at least 29 people and wounded more than 50, but the death toll is expected to rise. The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack, the Mirror reports.
The bombing took place following a match in the Iraqi town of Iskandariyah, around 25 miles south of the capital Baghdad and the footage appears to show fans clapping as the unsuspecting players prepare to receive a prize before the bomb detonates.
A police source told news agency AFP: “They were just handing the trophy to the winners, the suicide attacker blew himself up in the crowd.”
