Justin Meram Nominated for Iraqi Player of the Year

The Crew SC midfielder could take home one major award this season and you can help.

It's not often that Columbus Crew SC has a player recognized for being one of the best in his country, but the Black & Gold's Justin Meram has been honored for that.

The Crew SC midfielder was one of 10 players nominated for Iraqi Player of the Year for 2015 due to his play with the national team as well as in Major League Soccer.

Meram became the first ever MLS player to be called up to the Iraq national team in November of 2014 when he was brought in for the 2014 Golf Cup of Nations.
