During the 1970s, Falah Hassan was seen as one of the greatest players in Asia, and was offered lucrative contracts to play professionally abroad, in 1978 he received two offers one from Belgium and the other from the Emirates. [[Al-Shaab CSC|Al-Shaab]] from the UAE reportedly offered Falah and teammate [[Ali Kadhim]] a contract to play for them in 1978, while after the arrival of Belgium’s army team in Baghdad, the delegation nearly reached an agreement for a move to a club in Belgium however the officials at the [[Iraq Football Association|Iraqi FA]] turned it down saying that Falah Hassan was a national treasure, and that he should not be sold abroad. A year earlier in a dire 0–0 draw with English club [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]] in Baghdad, the player ran rings around the opposition defence.
