The Al-Bareed team was founded in 1963, and was merged with Al-Minaa for the 1974–75 season to form Al-Muwasalat. After the season ended, Al-Muwasalat was dissolved and Al-Minaa were reinstated in their place, meanwhile Al-Bareed was consigned to competing in non-IFA competitions as it was an institute-representative team and not a club. In 1992, Al-Bareed was registered as a sports club and entered the lower divisions of Iraqi club football organised by the IFA.^[1]
