Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya clinched the title on the final day of the season with a 1–0 win against Al-Zawraa, which was controversial due to Al-Zawraa having a goal ruled out for offside that would have won them the league if it was counted. Jawiya also won the Iraq FA Cup in this season to secure their first ever national double. Al-Khutoot (known as Al-Tayaran at the time) made their debut in the top division.[1][2]

Notes:

1. The relegation play-offs saw Al-Tijara, Al-Sulaikh, Erbil and Al-Bahri compete for two places in the top division. Al-Tijara and Erbil were able to retain their place in the top division through the play-offs, therefore Al-Sulaikh were relegated to the Iraq Division One where Al-Bahri remained.
