Iraq were held to a goalless draw by Jordan at King Abdullah International stadium on Tuesday in their second build-up match to the Asian Cup.
Iraq, who are preparing for the start of their Group A campaign next month, made several changes from the starting XI which played out a 1-1 draw with Jordan last Friday.
The squad included several overseas-based players, including goalkeeper Noor Sabri, Bassem Abbas, Hawar Mulla Mohamed, Nashat Akram, Mahdi Karim and Mohammad Nasser.
Both sides struggled to create chances mainly due to the large number of substitutions that were made, including six from Iraq's Brazilian coach Jorvan Vieira.
Iraq's next match will be against Iran in the opening fixture of the West Asian Football Federation Championship on Saturday, while they kick off their Asian Cup campaign against co-hosts Thailand on July 7.
They will then face Australia on July 13 before finishing their group campaign against Oman three days later.
