Having spent his whole youth career at London club Queens Park Rangers, Aoraha trained with the first team for the first time in November 2022.[citation needed]
Eligible to represent England or Iraq internationally, through his father, a Chaldean-Assyrian from Iraq, Alex chose to represent Iraq.
Aoraha received his first call-up for the U-23s in January 2022 for a training camp in Antalya, Turkey in preparation for the 2022 AFC U-23 Asian Cup, during which he played every match. He has won 6 caps and scored 2 goals for the U-23s.[3][4]
After impressing with the U-23s, Aoraha received a call-up to the senior national team in November 2022, just 10 months after first being called up to the U-23s. He was an unused substitute in a friendly against Mexico and made his debut in the starting lineup against Ecuador on November 12.[5]
