Iraq FA Cup
It was not held again until the FA decided to hold it in the 2015–16 season. This time, the cup was not abandoned, although a large number of Premier League teams withdrew from the competition. The 2016 Iraq FA Cup Final was the first Iraq FA Cup final held for 13 years, and was played between Baghdad rivals Al-Zawraa and Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya with the latter winning 2–0. In the first edition of the tournament, there were 25 teams; by the 2020–21 season, there was an all-time high of 126 teams in the tournament.
