A teenage IS!S su!cide bomber blew himself up in a crowd after a local football game in a village south of Baghdad, k!llin0 at least 26 people, pol!ce and medics said.
'They were just handing the trophy to the winners, the su!cide att@cker blew himself up in the crowd,' a pol!ce captain from the village, Al-Asriya, told AFP.
The pol!ce captain said more than 50 people were also w0unded in the bl@st, near Iskandariyah, a town about 25 miles south of the capital.
ISIS have claimed responsibility for the att@ck, releasing a photo of the young b0mber, named only as Saifullah al-Ansari.

A source at Iskandariyah hospital confirmed the toll, warning that the casualties figure were preliminary and could rise.
The medic told AFP that the att@ck took place around 7:00 pm with some source claiming that nearly 65 people were k!lled in the att@!ck.
IS!S have reportedly claimed responsibility for the bl@st, having carried out a spate of att@cks near Baghdad in recent months.
Pushing back IS in this region after the jihadists took over large parts of the country in 2014 was one of the pr!orities of the government and allied Shiite militias
Further south, at least 47 people were k@lled when a truck b\0mb exploded at a checkpoint at the entrance of the city of Hilla on March 6.
The att@ck was the de@dliest car b0mb explosion in Iraq this year.
The jihadist group has been losing terr!tory steadily in Iraq for almost a year.
In the most recent operations, Iraqi forces have been gaining ground in the western province of Anbar and have just begun their reconquest of the province of Nineveh.
In the cities the group retains control over, internal tension appears to be on the rise and the lack of supplies is taking its toll.
Observers have warned that, as their self-proclaimed 'caliphate' shrinks towards extinction, IS fighters are likely to revert to their old guerrilla tactics and ramp up su!cide att@cks on civilian targets.
