Iraq Central FA Perseverance Cup

The Iraq Central FA Perseverance Cup, previously called Iraq Central FA Altruism Cup (Arabic: كاس الإيثار, Al-Athar Cup), was an annual Iraqi football match contested at the end of the season between the champions and the runners-up of the Iraq Central FA League, the top-level division of football in Baghdad and its neighbouring cities between 1948 and 1973. The lower divisions in the region each also had their own Perseverance Cup match.
