# 2024–25 Iraqi Premier Division League

The 2024–25 Iraqi Premier Division League is the 51st season of the Iraqi Premier Division League, the second tier of the Iraqi football league system since its establishment in 1974, and the second under its new name. The season was orginally set to begin on October 11, but was delayed to the 22nd to allow clubs to complete their prepeartions.
The 2024–25 season is played under a different format than the previous seasons, as teams are no longer separated into groups; instead the 20 teams will play each other home and away in a double round-robin tournament.

## Season Summary

Al Gharraf started off the season strong, and went undefeated for eleven rounds before losing their first game to Mosul. Prior to the match, the team complained about lack of funds, due to delays in receiving grants from the government. Supporters of the club raised 150 Million IQD in order for the club to continue operating.
Former Iraqi champions Naft Al Wasat also experienced severe financial difficulties, the team looks set for back to back relegations after being bottom of the league in the first 3rd of the competition. The club's issues culminated in them forfeiting a match against Maysan after not showing up to the match. On January 18, Khalid Mohammed Sabbar resigned from managing Al Masafi, in order to take over at Naft Al Wasat.
