The Iraqi First Division League is a football league that is the third tier of the Iraqi football league system. The league consists of 26 teams and was founded in 1974. The number of clubs in the league have varied throughout history for various reasons.[1] The top two teams are promoted directly to the Iraqi Premier Division League, while 10 teams are relegated directly to the Iraqi Second Division League. The league is governed by the Iraq Football Association (IFA),[2] and may be introduced into the top tiers of Iraqi football that are governed by the Iraqi Pro League Association in the future.
In the 2022–23 season, Al-Karma won the championship title after defeating Ghaz Al-Shamal 4–3 on penalties after a 1–1 draw in the final match.[3]
