The source said the Iraqi security forces and the local authorities in Karbala have launched an investigation to identify the kidnappers and carry out rescue work.

The kidnapping of sports officials will affect Iraq's efforts to host international events. In March, FIFA announced the lifting of a ban on international events at home in Iraq, allowing three cities in the country to undertake international friendlies in the three cities of the country.

Since Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990 caused international sanctions, it has never hosted any official international events as host.
