I am a journalist who wants to contact a senior, English-speaking
person involved with the Iraqi national soccer/football team.

I need a phone number or an email address.

Ideally you could get me the email or phone details for the Head
Coach, a German man called BERND STANGE.

I would need proof that the result was right (i.e. a successful
contact between me and the person) before paying.

Many thanks.

Dear bbull,

Usually, Google Answers Researcher are not allowed to post "trial"
answers. However, in your particular case it seems justified.

Though I did not find contact information for Iraqi national coach
Herr Stange, I managed to locate his current superior, the Interim
President of the Iraqi Football Association:

Iraqi Football Association
Muhammed Hussain Saeed, President
Olympic Committee Building 
Palestine Street
Baghdad
IRAQ
--
Phone: ++964-1-772-9990 
Fax : ++964-1-885-4321 -or- ++964-1-772 8424
E-Mail: inoc@nisciraq.net

The same contact information also applies to the following leading
senior members of the Iraqi Football Association:
- Ahmed Radhi, Vice President
- Sherar Hayder, General Secretary
- Bassim Jamal, Treasurer

Please try this contact information. In case it proves to be useful,
let me know and I will post this as an answer.

Regards,
Scriptor

SCRIPTOR - thanks; looks great.  I'll call and email them tomorrow. 
Then I'll post a comment about it - if I get through and they speak
English, I'll ask you to post it as a reply and you'll get paid.  All
the best,  B. Bull

SCRIPTOR - 

Sorry - the site wouldn't let me log on this morning.

I have called the telephone number and the two fax numbers numerous
times and can't get a dial tone.  I have emailed to the email address
and it was bounced back.  I have to give up now, and I'm afraid the
"successful contact between me and the person" just has not happened.

Thanks for trying.

- BBULL

Hello.  Thanks for your comments.

I have tracked down the people I wanted to talk to.

I will now try to close this question down.

Many thanks,

BBull

Iraq's Olympic Headquarters was bombed heavily during the war and
looted immediately after. The Olympic Committee has probably
relocated. Parenthetically, the boxing team was featured recently on
television, and is now headed by an American coach.

Bernd Stange is staying in a secret location, due to the violence in
Iraq. He had been living in the Sheraton before it was attacked with
rockets.

Dear B. Bull, 

This is just to inform you, that I contacted FIFA, and will hopefully
receive an answer from them.
