From Iraq to the world - a build nation save - 30 Seasons in

[Ace40]

July to October 

The board forces us to sell Culubali to Al Jawiya, as well as Foku to Al Khor 

Both were sold for way below what I think they should be sold for, and we even lost 15K on Foku 

We signed Moussa Fall on a free transfer, what was once the best player in the league was handled terribly by Samara'a since I left, he hasn't scored at all in the last two seasons! 

We signed two other foreign players, as well as strengthening some of our local players 

I think another top 4 finish should be the aim, the squad isn't good enough to go all the way 

We are still third lowest on the wage budget

No changes on the sponsorship front 

 

Look How They Massacred My Boy

[Ace40]

Oct-March 

We are in a top 4 race, but Jawiya are too strong to be challenged for the title 

Our FA Cup Curse reaches a comical low as we lose to third-tier side Al Hussein on penalties 

No notable movement in the winter transfer market

We are too broke to ask for any facility upgrades 

[Ace40]

March- July 

We finish the season in 4th spot once again, however our CL Spot went to Zakho in 6th place for some unknown reason 

It was another close season where the top 3 were just much better than us 

We get 3 Elite Talents in the Youth Intake 

[Ace40]

Iraqi clubs in 2032-2033

Mosul went straight down with 7 points, and were joined by Naft Al Basra 

Two Kurdish clubs are promoted as Nawroz bounce right back up, with Duhok finally returning to the Big time

Al Quwa Al Jawiya won the Premier League, making it 11 titles and closing in on Al Zawra'a's record

Samara'a won the FA Cup

Iraqi clubs in Asia 

One of the worst campaigns in recent memory 

Both myself and my former club lost in the Playoffs and failed to make the GS

Zakho and Al Jawiya both fail to make it out of the groups

We fall to 7th in the coefficient table, however, it does not affect the teams we send to the CL 

Al Ain of UAE won the title 

 

 

[Ace40]

World Cup 2034

Hosted in China, the 2034 marks the third successive edition in which Iraq qualifies for the World Cup, and 4th overall 

We came in having never gotten a single point in any of our appearances on the world stage 

We were placed in Pot 3 and came up against France, and Egypt 

Match One 

France vs Iraq 

We came in with a fearless attitude, and managed to score 3 goals against the French 

However, Les Blues were never in danger as they took the lead in the fifth minute and did not take their foot off the gas 

Our CB pairing had a game to forgot as Rayan Cherki had free reign and scored a brace 

Match Two 

Iraq vs Egypt 

The Pharaohs were dismantled in style, as we beat them 5-0 

We were up 2-0 by Halftime, and as Egypt kept committing more men forward we hit them on the counter-attack and scored three more 

That marked our first ever win in a world cup match, and cemented a place in the round of 32 

Round of 32 

Iraq vs England 

In our first-ever World Cup knockout, we faced one of the title favorites, England 

Saka put the three lions ahead within 2 minutes, but our boys fought back and scored the equalizer through Abdullah Hafez 

We then put on a defensive masterclass, helped by a great performance from keeper Ali Khudhair 

Our CB got a second yellow card a few minutes before we went to penalties 

We scored our first 4 penalties, while England missed two of the five and we record a historic victory 

Round of 16 

Iraq vs Ivory Coast 

In a match where we faced an opponent that was better, but not invincible, we went in with several players suspended, and a couple injured, which significantly hurt our chances 

Ivory Coast scored twice in 4 minutes early in the first half, and we spent the rest of the match playing catch-up 

Ahmad Khaziravi's brace gave us a flattering scoreline, the reality is the Ivory Coast was in control the entire match. 

Despite the heartbreaking result, it was a huge tournament for us, and a much needed sign that the project is going somewhere 

My Former player at Samra'a, Will Ma Bamsoung, scored the winner for Cameroon to avenge us and knock out the Ivory Coast in the QF 

Spain beat Germany to win their second WC

End-of-season review 

A season where not much happened, to repair the financial damage we got from our last round of facility upgrade

We finished with 10 more points than last season but the competition improved as well and we remained 4th 

I gave POTY to winger Yves Fame, who hit double digits in both goals and assists 

Our Youth recruitment finally improved to become one one-star 

Our NT Ranking reaches 42, only 3 spots away from Iraq's highest-ever ranking 

[Ace40]

One to Watch 

It seems my good work at Samara'a is starting to pay off as this 16-year-old striker has come out of their youth set-up 

He is already one of the best in Iraq stats-wise, and he scored 2 goals in 4 games at the WAFF 

Hopefully he has a big future ahead, I submitted a 70K offer for him but he refused to Join us 

[Ace40]

July to October 

We sell two of our foreign players, Moussa Fall for 40K and Ahmed Mohammed for 20K 

Although I wanted to keep both, Fall is 29 and has very little value, so it doesn't make sense to waste a foreign spot on him 

Ahmed requested to leave so I cashed in on him for 20K. I wanted to keep him as I was sure his value would continue to rise but my hands were tied 

Ugandan winger Banza was already unregistered at the club, so I promoted him to the first team 

I signed Saudi striker Al Majrashi on a free transfer 

I got the idea to sign him after seeing Ahmed Mohammed get a lot of interest throughout the season from UAE clubs 

It makes sense as these players would not be counted as foreigners and naturally more teams would be interested in them 

The issue is that these players have high reputations and wages, so we can't really sign any good ones even if they are young 

I'm hoping Al Majarashi can bring us a six-figure fee if he performs well, I changed my tactic to feed one striker to get him as many goals as possible 

We make some reinforcements on our local players as well

Due to our WC run, a number of players from Samra'a and Al Jawiya were sold. For the first time, I have faith in being able to mount a title charge 

We are second bottom in wage spend at 1.5M, but spare a thought for newly promoted Duhok who are only spending 350K all season 

We move into 11th in the Sponsorship table 

We are predicted to finish 5th, but as I said, I don't think the top three are as strong as last season 

#

 

[Ace40]

Oct - March 

A fantastic start to the season where we see ourselves first in the league 

We are also still in the FA Cup after beating a couple of tough opponents 

Not much movement on the transfer front, we sell our backup CB and RB and replace them with better and younger local ones, at a net cost of about 40K 

We also get an upgrade to our training facilities 

[Ace40]

Asian Cup 2035

After our impressive World Cup run, we went to Doha with big hopes for the Asian Cup in Jan of 2035

We received a huge blow right before the start of the tournament as our talisman Ammar Hammoud got injured a week before the tournament and was ruled out 

Nonetheless, we still had high hopes for using the remainder of the team 

We went three for three in our group which consisted off Syria, Bahrain, and Vietnam 

We then beat Lebanon 4-0 in the round of 16, before beating China 2-0 in the QF

We faced a formidable South Korean side in the SF, where the quality difference was apparent, and we lost 4-1

The Koreans beat Australia in the final, winning their 3rd title

March - July 

We get our first league title for Karbala, making it the 5th province to win the Iraqi League 

It was an incredibly tight affair, all the teams rounding up the top 4 all finished 4 points behind us, our strong end to the season secured us the title. 

We, of course, lose in the Iraqi FA Cup SF on penalties, at this point I think I'm going to win the World Cup before I win the FA Cup

Huge shoutout to Duhok, who stayed up with an incredibly tight budget and against all odds

We get another 3 Elite Talents in our Youth Intake

Edited August 24, 2023 by Ace40

[Ace40]

Iraqi Clubs in 2034-35 

Nawroz went straight back down, joined by Al Qasim 

Al Sinaat Al Kahrabia and Naft Maysan were promoted 

We won the Iraqi Premier League!

Al Quwa Al Jawiya won the FA Cup, beating Zakho in the final 

Iraqi Clubs in 2034-35 

Zakho was given the CL spot over us despite us being above them in the league the entire season 

They were knocked out in the playoffs 

Samara'a also failed to make the Group Stages 

Al Jawita finished third with 6 points while Naft Al Wasat made it to the knockouts 

They were knocked out of the first knockout round by Al Ain

Another bad season sees us drop down to 8th, and we now lose a playoff spot 

[Ace40]

End-of-season review 

A fantastic season where we won the league and reached the SF of the FA Cup. We improved our training facilities and youth recruitment, we hit an all-time high in our NT Ranking. 

Other clubs let us down as we lost a CL spot and dropped to 8th in the coefficient table

Fahad Majrashi scored an incredible 40 goals throughout the season, earning himself the much-deserved POTY. Attendance keeps improving, although it looks like a blip in our 30,000 seater 

Finances are in the red but nothing to worry about

[Ace40]

July - Oct 

We were very busy in the transfer window, we upgraded most of our local players. 

We also sold three of our foreign players, two of whom went for 100K 

We replaced Majrashi with 19-year-old Mutero who we spent 27K on 

We signed Chinese GK Yang Jie on a free, he has good stats for this level and I'm hoping we can get big money from one of the CSL teams, although the league isn't loaded 

Sibanda (which seems to be a very popular Zimbabwe regen name, this is the third Sibanda I sign this save) comes in to play AM 

Oliver Sidbe comes in to play CB in the CL, but won't be registered in the league. I did spend 28K on him so hopefully we get a good run in the CL 

Peng came in on loan so our Chinese Keeper has an easier time adapting 

We move up a few places on the salary front. Duhok almost tripled their wage spend from last season but they are still bottom 

We are predicted to finish 1st, we should be able to retain but judging how close it was last season it isn't a done deal 

[Ace40]

Notable Transfers 

It took the beginning of our 5th season to have some transfers worth talking about 

Majrashi and Fame both head to Qatar for 100K each. One issue is that I currently keep 100% of the transfer revenue until I hit 4.Mil so we won't have money to upgrade our facilities for a while 

[Ace40]

Oct-March 

 A good start to the season, we are second in the league at the halfway point, trailing Samara'a 

We made it to the QF of the Asian CL, after getting 15 points and finishing second 

We then beat Estghlal in the round of 16 to set up a date against Al Ittihad 

We are still in the FA Cup 

We made three foreign signings in the winter, to get our loan army up and running 

We face the same problem we did at Samra'a, the only way we sign these players is to overpromise on their roles so they don't want to leave on loan 

70K we spent on Assana, a winger who will probably replace Banza next season if we manage to get a good fee for him 

[Ace40]

March - July 

A lackluster second half of the season 

We were cruelly eliminated by Al Ittihad 6-5 on aggregate 

We finished third in the league 

We ..... lost the FA Cup final against Naft Al Wasat due to an 87th-minute corner 

We got 2 elite talents in the Intake but I lost the Screenshot 

 

[Ace40]

Iraqi Clubs in 2035-36

Sinaat Al Kaharabiya and Naft Maysan both went down straight away

Al Qasim returned to the PL after a year in the second division and were joined by Al Naft who have been away since 2028

Samara'a won the Iraqi PL for the first time since I left them

Naft Al Wasat beat us in the final of the Iraqi FA Cup

Iraqi Clubs in Asia 2035-36

Al Shorta lost in the Playoffs

They were knocked out in the playoffs 

Samara'a beat Perspolis to reach the GS, but finished bottom of their group with 3 points

We reached the QF in our first-ever participation in the CL 

A mediocre season sees us drop to 9th in the coefficient table 

However it does not impact our places, we will get one in the GS and two in the playoffs next season

[Ace40]

Iraqi NT in 2035 - 36 

Building upon our great runs in the World and Asian Cups, we head into the Arab Cup and pick up our most significant piece of silverware in 20 years 

We beat Tunisia in the final, and we return to be joint record holders of the tournament alongside Morocco with four 

We also do the business in the World Cup qualifiers and are in through the final round 

We reach the SF of the WAFF tournament which is one I really don't care about anymore 

[Ace40]

End-of-Season Review 

A good season in Asia where we reach the QF, but we failed to make waves domestically 

Our reputation increased to 2 stars and we should be able to go after some better players now 

All facilities remain 

49 goals for Mutero in an incredible campaign, earns himself Poty

..... We get two new fans

[Ace40]

2035-36 Transfer special 

I usually include this as part of the season preview, but this season it needs its own post

This has been the longest and most frustrating summer this entire save. The main antagonist of it was our chairmen 

Let's start with the outgoings 

Mister Chairman forced us to accept offers for Baraza (AM), Jawad (RB) and Yang Jie (GK) I could have gotten so much more for all of them, but the more damaging part is the no one resale clause 

He then sold Amir Jalal (DM) for 98K, again I was powerless to stop him. 

Then he came for the star man, Mutero, In the midst of a bidding war that I engineered, he accepted a 500K offer from Duhail when the current highest offer was 750K with the clause

After a very real threat of resigning, he withdrew his acceptance and I kept on pushing until I got 1.4M from Al Hilal 

Another decent deal is Bonaiface Abdullah(not pictured) going on loan to Al Taawoun with a mandatory buy clause and 50% of the sale 

He got the last laugh as he sold my backup GK  who would be promoted to starter on deadline day, forcing me to sign a replacement on triple the wages 

Incomings 

We signed two Tunisian CB on a free for the loan army 

Abbas Karim joined for 61K to be our new GK 

David Ngoma, was brought in for 155K to play AM

The biggest signing however is Haidar Ammar, I shared a screenshot of him as a 16-year-old earlier, and I decided to go all out to buy him. 200K will be a bargin. but his wages and incentive might bankrupt us, he could earn over half a million while the rest of the squad combined earns 1.5

[Ace40]

July to October 

Our salary spend goes up considerably, moving into 5th place 

No change on the sponsorship end 

We are once again predicted to be 1st, but Samara'a are still very strong, it will be a close fight 

We use the money we got from Muterero on a facility upgrade

[Ace40]

Notable Transfers 

We activate the clauses from both sales last year

I will be aiming for 4M+ for the Mutero, I'm not in a hurry to activate it as I'm sure he will perform 

 

[Ace40]

Oct - March 

We are flying in the first half of the season, top of the league, top of our CL group

We are undefeated in the league

But of course, already out of the cup due to losing to Erbil 

We sell Sibanda (AM) to a Saudi club for 650K 

We replace him with an Albanian player who will join us at the start of the next season, we also sign a Malian 17-yr old ST who will follow him 

In the meantime, we loaned in Mubarak from Qatar to replace him, we also sign a Saudi DM on loan to play in the CL 

[Ace40]

March - July 

We comfortably finished top of the league, picking up our second title 

We are knocked by Al Ittihad once again in the CL, this time in the SF 

We get 3 Elite talents in the YA, but no one that really impresses me

Iraqi Clubs in 2036-37

Duhok's fairytale is finally over after they go down, Al Qasim joins them 

Naft Maysan return to the PL, alongside Nawroz

We won our 2nd PL title in 3 years 

Al Najaf beat Zakho in the FA Cup final to get their first taste of silverware

Iraqi Clubs in Asia 2036-37

Samara'a  out in the GS, but gave it a good effort

Naft Al Wasat contributed heavily this season, they won the playoffs to reach the GS

Then topped their group before going out to a very tough opponent in the Round of 16

We reached the SF in our second-ever participation in the CL 

Al Ittihad has been dominating this competition under Nano Santos, they now won their 6th title

Our good run sees us move into 7th in the coefficient 

[Ace40]

Iraqi NT in 2037-38

We start off by reaching the SF of the WAFF Championship before losing to eventual champions Saudi Arabia 

We smash through the final qualifying round to book our place in the World Cup 

We win the Gulf Cup of Nations 

[Ace40]

End-of-Season Review 

A good season where we made a facility upgrade and boosted our coefficient

I give POTY to RW Assana  

 

 

[Ace40]

July - October 

A very quiet summer this season 

I activated Mutero's sell-on clause, that way we can have money in the bank and not have the chairman accept offers on his own 

He still accepted many of them, but I managed to talk him down from all but one 

DM Aoun Mohammed went to the Emariti league for 425K 

None of my star players got offers I found satisfactory so I didn't sign anyone to replace them 

I bolstered my defense by reuniting with two former players, Sami Ahmed, and Ahmed Jasim. Ahmed Jasim was my POTY my very first PL season with Samar'a, and now he is back 10 seasons later 

We are now third in the Salary expenditure and of course, favorites to win the league 

Edited August 27, 2023 by Ace40

[Ace40]

Notable Transfers 

Bonaice Abdullah's loan move becomes permanent by Al Taawoun. I regret having a buy option because he looks much better than I thought he did 

Zoughi, one of the Tunisian CB we signed on a free, moved to a Qatari club for 475K

[Ace40]

Oct-March 

Disaster in the CL as we fail to make it out of the groups. We had a very difficult group with Ittihad and our loss to Al Sadd meant we were out 

We breeze through the League's first half, and we are in the next round of the FA Cup 

We got a lot of offers for Assana from big clubs, but they were all non-negotiable, I think it might be because our reputation is so low that they just strong-arm us 

We got an offer for 1.1Mil and 30% of the profit from HSV, which was the best of the bunch and we decided to make the sale

We immediately spent it on a training facility upgrade 

[Ace40]

March - July 

A routine end of the season where we smashed through the premier league 

WE ALSO FINALLY WON THE FA CUP 

After 15 long season, the FA Cup curse comes to an end as we beat Al Jawiya to win the FA Cup final 

No Elite talent for the first time in the Karbalaa save. 

[Ace40]

Iraqi Clubs in 2037-38

Nawroz and Al Kahraba are down 

A huge surprise as Kufa came up, followed by a swift return for Al Qasim 

We won the league and cup double 

Iraqi clubs in Asia in 37-38 

The game bugs out again, so we were the only club in Asia 

As mentioned we were eliminated from the GS 

However, that was enough for us to move back up to sixth in the coefficient table

World Cup 2038

Iraq vs DR Congo

In June, we headed to South Africa as the country prepared to host the World Cup for the second time. 

Our first match was against DR Congo, we took the lead through defender Alaa Abaas in the first half, and Haidar Ammar doubled our advantage in the 83rd minute before Kalenga brought one back for the Congo before the whistle 

Iraq vs Germany 

 

Our second match was against Germany, and unforutantly they proved too much for us to handle

We took a surprising early lead through Sami Ahmed, but the Germans were up 2-1 at halftime and made it 3-1 in the 75th minute. 

Despite the defeat, our 3 points from the opening game are enough to send us to the Knockouts 

Iraq vs. Scotland - Round of 32

 

For the second consecutive World Cup, we face a team from the British Isles in the knockout stages 

We absolutely dominated Scotland, with 2 goals from our brilliant striker Haidar Amamr in the second half

Jay Pirie brought one back for the Scots but it was too late to make a difference, and we reached the round of 16 once again 

Iraq vs. Turkey - Round of 16

We faced a neighboring nation in the round 16, and the first half showed we were out-of depth

Turkey were up 2-0 by halftime, and seemed to be cruising 

But in the second half, I brought on Haidar Ammar, who was benched due to fatigue, and he willed his team back into the match by scoring a brilliant hattrick 

We had to play the final 10 minutes with 10 men as Aoun Sattar got sent off, but our men stayed strong and qualified to a historic QF 

I

Iraq vs. Colombia - Quarter-Final 

We went into the QF with high hopes, as Colombia was not the unbeatable team that we stood no chance against

 We were suffering from a few suspensions and fatigue was starting to impact some of our undroppable starters 

Colombia took the lead in the second half, but the brilliant Haidar Ammar quickly equalized. It was a tight affair until heartbreak struck at the final moment

George Pinerez scored a goal to send Colombia to the World Cup Semi-Final and end our fairytale run. They would lose in the next match to eventual champions Spain 

Edited September 1, 2023 by Ace40

[Ace40]

End-of-Season Review 

The league and cup double sees us increase our reputation, but not to 5 stars

We increased the training facilities to 4 in Iraq, but the club won't budge on the youth facilities 

Our great World Cup sees us move into an all-time high of 25th on the world 

Diaara had a monster season which saw him become top goal scorer, top playmaker, and obviously player of the year

My poor crop job shows that we almost doubled our avg league attendance, becoming 1,057 

[Ace40]

July - October 

We have reached a weird point in the save where European clubs have started putting in bids for our players, but they completely lowballed us and refuse to negotiate, so I don't accept any.

While the Gulf Clubs we're used to dealing with seem to have stopped coming in with the same frequency, perhaps due to the player's reputation increasing beyond theirs 

For those reasons, we had a quiet summer. 

Jallow is a 31-year-old backup DM who spent over 10 years in Iraq so counts as a local player, but he's 32, and getting 250K for him was a no-brainer 

Hatem Abdul Ridha, a backup LB, moved to Vizela in the Portuguese league for 250K 

Our main talisman, Haidar Ammar, is moving to Dusseldorf in the 2.Bundesliga for 4.8 Million 

Only two incomings as I kept all my local players. 

We rise to 2nd in salary spend, and first in sponsorship money 

Naturally, we are predicted to finish first in the league 

We get another training facility upgrade underway 

[Ace40]

Notable Transfers 

Haidar Ammar becomes our highest-ever sale 

Abdul Ridha's move to Portugal was very random but I'm not complaining

Oct-March 

A routine first half of the season, we are second in the league due to a few draws 

We top our CL Group but we are knocked out in the Round of 16 due to away goals 

We finally get a training facility improvement approved

Iraqi Clubs in 2038-39

Kufa goes straight back down, joined by Al Naft

Both Electricity clubs go up as Al Kahrabaa and Al Sinaat Al Kahrabiya are promoted 

We won the league despite Nast Al Wasat putting on a fight 

Al Shorta are back to winning ways after beating us in the FA Cup 

Iraqi clubs in Asia in 38-39 

The game bugs out again, so we were the only club in Asia for the second straight season

We were eliminated in the Round of 16 by Al Gharafa 

However, I have realised that us being the only team is a blessing in disguise as we now have enough teams to go into 5th in the coefficient 

This will get us, if the game doesn't bug out, three clubs in the GS and one in the playoffs next season

Edited September 3, 2023 by Ace40

Iraqi NT in 2038-39 

A disappointing year for the Lions of Mesopotamia following our impressive WC run 

We failed to win three tournaments that we took part in over the span of seven months 

First, we lost in the Semi FInal of the WAFF tournament against Qatar. Syria won its second title 

Saudi Arabia beat us in the final of the Gulf Cup

The one that hurt the most is another SF loss against bitter rivals Iran, losing to a last-minute penalty. Iran went on to win the title to rub salt in the wounds 

[Ace40]

End-of-Season Review 

Still, have no reached the elusive 2.5* reputation 

Gjona scored 30 goals and provided 18 assists, so deservedly gets POTY 

Attendance increased by 300 people 

[Ace40]

Transfer Special 39-40 

A number of moves were made this summer, so thought I should make its own thread 

Starting out with the outgoings, 

David Ngoma (AM) was sold to Umm Salal of Qatar for 4M 

Gjoni (AM) was sold to Leverkusen for 2.4M, despite him being a better player and an Albanian international, the Euro clubs don't negotiate and just getting that fee was a success. 

Alaa Abdul Hussein (31-ST) was sold to Dibba for 1.4M. A great player that seems to always get misused when I sell him, he is old and we have an academy kid waiting to take his spot

All three players were sold with good clauses 

 Moving on to the Incomings, It was quite a busy summer and I may have gone overboard with the signings 

Mubarak (25-AM) Spent some time on loan a few seasons ago, and I decided to bring him back to replace Gjoni as he has similar stats. 

Diop (19-W) Was signed to play on the right wing, he has some amazing stats but forced us to put in a measly 1.7M release clause. I decided to not register him for the league in the hopes I ward off interest and give him a new contract 

Nasr (20 CB) Is our third Seven figure signing this summer, The Egyptian also put in a release clause so he is going unregistered while we use his abilities in the Champions League 

Alhassan (20-W) Was signed to play on the Left Wing from Ghana 

Alain-Pierre (20-CB) A signing I'm excited about, he can play CB, RB, and DM. 

Diarra (20-ST) a young man from Mali, 100K seemed a reasonable gamble on him and he is spending the season on loan at his current club 

Barkov (22-W) This one is a bit of a gamble, he is 22 and hasn't been capped yet, but he is 6'2 and has great physicals. He is spending half the season on loan at BATE 

Carpanu (19-CB) A Romanian CB, also going unregistered due to foreign limits but he will be useful in the CL and one for the future 

Edited September 4, 2023 by Ace40

[Ace40]

July-October

After our busy transfer window, we enter the season as title favorites 

We also take a clear lead in the wage expenditure table,

No changes in the sponserships 

We get another training facility upgrade, which should push us to 5 stars 

[Ace40]

Notable Transfers 

The new minimum to be added to the list is now 1 Million Euros 

Assana is sold to Leicester city, 625K is our share of the spoils 

No other clause has been used so far 

[Ace40]

Oct-March

A quiet first half of the season 

We are top of the league, although Samara'a are putting on a fight 

We are through to the QF of the CL and round of 16 of the FA Cup 

No incomings or outgoings in the window

Easy money this season

Easy money this season

Not so fast ...

[Ace40]

March - Oct

We retain the Premier League title, by the skin of our teeth 

In the most exciting title race in years, Samar'a were leading by a point with two games to go when they dropped by points, but we failed to beat Al Shorta. 

This allowed Al Jawiya to leapfrog both of us into the lead. 16th place Naft Maysan did us a huge favor by holding them to a draw, which allowed us to win the title 

We were knocked out by eventual champions Al Hilal in the Asian CL QF. It is getting very difficult to beat the Saudi sides 

We smash Samar'a 7-0 in the FA Cup final to complete the domestic double. 

The main reason for our poor league form is the performance of Mo Hassan. Our young striker who, despite his good stats, has failed to deliver when we needed him 

Our Youth Intake continues to disappoint with another poor batch
