1961–62 Iraq Central FA First Division Cup
The 1961–62 Iraq Central FA First Division Cup was the 14th season of the Iraq Central FA League (the top division of football in Baghdad and its neighbouring cities from 1948 to 1973). It kicked off on 24 October 1961 and ended on 27 April 1962. It was originally supposed to be played between eight teams, but Montakhab Al-Shorta withdrew and Amanat Al-Asima were later disqualified. Unlike the previous five seasons, the Iraq Central Football Association (IFA) decided to hold the tournament in a round-robin format, meaning each team played each other team in the league once. The winners of the league were Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, who won their second title. They then went on to win the 1962 Iraq Central FA Altruism Cup by beating Al-Kuliya Al-Askariya 4–2. Four players shared the top scorer award, each scoring four goals. League table Note: Montakhab Al-Shorta withdrew from the league.

It is located on the Tigris near the ruins of the ancient city of Babylon and the Sassanid Persian capital of Ctesiphon. In 762 CE, Baghdad was chosen as the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate, and became its most notable major development project. Within a short time, the city evolved into a significant cultural, commercial, and intellectual center of the Muslim world. This, in addition to housing several key academic institutions, including the House of Wisdom, as well as a multiethnic and multi-religious environment, garnered it a worldwide reputation as the "Center of Learning".

The city was largely destroyed at the hands of the Mongol Empire in 1258, resulting in a decline that would linger through many centu ...
