History

Al-Naft Sports Club was established in 1979 by the Ministry of Oil, and was officially registered in the Ministry of Youth and Sports in 1982.[1] In the 1985 season the team played in the Iraqi Premier League for the first time, and finished in the penultimate position that season,[2] and have remained in the Premier League since then, being one of only nine clubs to never be relegated from the top flight. The club has not won a trophy in its 40-year existence,[3] but they were runners-up of the Al-Nasr Wal-Salam Cup in 1996,[4] the Durand Cup in 1996,[5] the Iraqi Elite Cup in 1998,[6] and the Iraqi Premier League in 2017,[7] and qualified to play in the Arab Club Champions Cup. In the 2018–19 Arab Club Champions Cup, Al-Naft managed to overcome the Tunisian club: CS Sfaxien and expelled it from the championship and qualify for the round 16,[8] but then lost to the Saudi club: Al-Hilal, and left the tournament.[9]
