This was the only occasion that the Iraqi team wore these colors, for some reason that i don't know yellow and light blue was chosen by Iraq for his first participation in a World Cup.
Some say that yellow and light blue were chosen by the infamous Uday Hussain (the then-president of the Iraqi Olympic Commitee), who thought that iraq wearing the same colors of Brazil, would have luck in the World Cup

DeleteBut the colors actually were also the colors of Al-Rasheed Sports Club, where which many players of the 1986 Iraqi team played.
