The competition's sponsor ART invited Iraq's Al-Talaba to compete. The Iraqi FA then nominated two other clubs (Erbil SC and Najaf FC, leaders of the Northern and Southern groups when the domestic championship was abandoned in spring 2004) to participate alongside Al-Talaba, but UAFA only allowed Al-Talaba to compete. The Iraqi FA then withdrew Al-Talaba from the tournament and were subsequently suspended from UAFA.
