Khudhair appeared at the World Military Cup 1977, and also played in the Moscow Olympics in 1980. He played in The 5th Gulf Cup of Nations 1979 and scored two goals, the first goal against Emirates, and the second against Oman.[1]

Political aspect

In 1982, the Iraqi Ba'athist government overthrew Khudhair out the national team after they learned that his brother (Shaker) belonged to the Dawa party. His brother was then assassinated with his son (Mahmoud) by the government and Khudhair was subsequently placed under house arrest.[2]

After the outbreak of the 1991 uprising in Basra, Khudhair took part in a military operation and was seriously injured. He was taken to Kuwait, then to Iran and treated in hospital. And then returned to join the Iraqi opposition front through Patriotic Union of Kurdistan until the 2003 invasion of Iraq.[3]

Coaching career

Since 2003, Khudhair has been a professional coach in Bahrain, where he has trained many Bahraini clubs and achieved excellent results with them, including Al-Malkiya, Al-Ettifaq, Al-Tadhamon and East Riffa Club.[4]
