League 1: Bali United terminates Brwa Nouri’s contract

– Bali United has decided not to renew the contract of one of its foreign players, Brwa Nouri, in the 2023/2024 Indonesian League 1 season.

“He is one of the best defensive midfielders who has ever played for Bali United and is an example for other players,” said Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Bali United, Yabes Tanuri, in Denpasar, Thursday (13/7/2023).

The Iraqi player agreed not to continue his contract with the club known as Serdadu Tridatu.

Brwa Nouri joined Bali United in mid-2018 after playing for his previous club, Ostersund Fotbollsklubb in Sweden.

At the age of 36, the midfielder helped the club based at the Captain I Wayan Dipta Gianyar Stadium win the League 1 title in 2019 and League 1 in the 2021/2022 season.

A year after winning League 1 in 2020, Nouri returned to playing in the qualifiers for the Asian Champions League and League 1 in 2020 before the competition was suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

After the pandemic situation subsided, Bali United again showed brilliant achievements by defending the League 1 title in the 2021/2022 season.

By parting ways from his club midway through the season, the former Iraqi national team captain will be remembered for his contribution and dedication to Bali United.

While joining Bali United, Brwa Nouri has appeared more than 100 times in various competitions with Serdadu Tridatu.

“We want to thank you for your dedication, struggle and hard work that has been given to Bali United. Nouri has also helped Bali United achieve good results as a team,” said Yabes.

With the end of Brwa’s contract with Bali United, one slot for a foreign player is still available as a condition for the club to compete in League 1 for the 2023/2024 season and fulfill the foreign player quota.
