The club was renamed Al-Talaba in 1977, and moved to Al Talaba Stadium in the early-1980s. Since 2010 the club has played their home games at several stadiums until the construction of the new stadium is finished. Al-Talaba is part of the Popular Teams of Baghdad, who whenever they play against each other, it is considered a derby. The other Popular Teams are Al-Shorta, Al-Zawraa and Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya. The team first reached the top tier of Iraqi football in their second season as a team after getting promoted from the 1970–71 Iraq Division One.[2] After getting relegated in the 1971–72 season and promoted again in the 1974–75 season, the team settled in the Iraqi Premier League and was never relegated. Having played 46 seasons, Al-Talaba spent 42 of them in the top tier of Iraqi football and 4 in the second. The club has won the Iraqi Premier League five times, the Iraq FA Cup twice and the Iraqi Elite Cup three times.

In the 1995 Asian Cup Winners' Cup Al-Talaba reached the final and lost to Bellmare Hiratsuka, becoming only the third Iraqi team (Al-Shorta were the first in 1971 and Al-Rasheed were the second in 1989) to have reached this far into an AFC competition. They are also the first Iraqi team to become the runners-up of the Asian Cup Winners' Cup.
