  Kalaf has represented Al-Kut, Al-Shorta, Al-Zawraa and Al-Talaba in the Iraqi Premier League and also had a two-month stint at Erbil without playing any matches for them. He almost signed for FC Anzhi Makhachkala in 2012 but the move did not materialise and he stayed in Iraq. On the international level, Kalaf has scored four goals overall for the various national youth teams, and has represented the Iraq senior team 26 times, scoring against the United Arab Emirates in the 2015 AFC Asian Cup.
  Kalaf is an Al-Shorta legend, having stayed at the club for nearly ten years. He saved the club from relegation in 2011 before inspiring them to win two league titles in a row soon after as well as scoring the club's first two AFC Cup goals and he went on to captain the team before he was released from the club in controversial circumstances by Mohamed Youssef.
