Sabri was one of the main forces behind Iraq's silver-medal finish at the Gulf Cup of Nations. The talented 28-year-old was unanimously named by regional newspapers in the tournament's best XI after keeping his net clean in the first three matches and conceding just five goals throughout the tournament with brilliant saves from start to finish.

While he didn't take home the gold, Sabri more than earned his commendation as the competition's best goalkeeper and it will be remembered as another memorable performance from Iraq's vice-captain.
