Al-Kahrabaa SC

Al-Kahrabaa Sports Club was founded on 21 July 2001 by Saad Abdul Hamed Al-Khatib (who was the first ever chairman) in the Ministry of Electricity.^[1] They were promoted to the Iraqi Premier League for the first time for the 2004–05 season^[2] where they remained until they got relegated to the Iraqi First Division League in 2013. They were promoted back to the Premier League at the first attempt^[3] under coach Shaker Mahmoud,^[4] where they have remained since. During the 2017–18 season, Al-Kahrabaa finished fifth, their best league position in history, which they later equalled in the 2022–23 season.^[5]

Al-Kahrabaa reached the final of the 2018–19 Iraq FA Cup for the first time in their history after beating Al-Talaba 3–0 in the semi-finals,^[6] but lost the final against Iraqi giants Al-Zawraa 1–0 at the national Al-Shaab Stadium.^[7] Al-Kahrabaa reached the final of the Iraq FA Cup again in the 2021–22 season, but were beaten 2–1 by Al-Karkh.^[8]

Al-Kahrabaa finished the 2022–23 Iraqi Premier League in fifth place but since they have the license for the competition, they qualified for their first ever 2023–24 AFC Cup debut.
