Al-Kuliya Al-Askariya
Al-Kuliya Al-Askariya (Arabic: فريق الكلية العسكرية, lit. 'Military College'), known up until 1958 as Al-Kuliya Al-Askariya Al-Malikiya, was an Iraqi football team founded in 1937 in Baghdad. They were the runners-up of Iraq's first ever national cup when they lost the final of the 1948–49 Iraq FA Cup to Sharikat Naft Al-Basra.[1] They were also the first ever winners of the Iraq Central FA League, a regional league for teams from Baghdad and its neighbouring cities, when they earned the title in 1948–49.[2] Their final season in the league was 1969–70 when they were relegated to the region's second-tier. Al-Kuliya Al-Askariya had its IFA membership withdrawn in 1974 but continued as an army team up until 1991.[3]
