History

Al-Qasim Club was founded in 1973 by a group of young athletes. The team have been in the Iraqi First Division League for many years and have not been able to qualify for the Premier League due to lack of financial support and lack of a good stadium.^[1]

In the 2015–16 season, the team strengthened their ranks with good players^[2] and was about to qualify for the Premier League, but finished second behind Al-Bahri in Elite Stage, and Al-Bahri qualified.^[3] As well as in the 2017–18 season, but they finished second behind Erbil in Final stage, and Erbil qualified.^[4]

Al-Qasim won the 2018–19 Iraqi First Division League title after defeating Zakho in the final penalty shootout 4–1, after the match with a draw in the full time.^[5] As a result, they were promoted to the 2019–20 Iraqi Premier League for first time,^[6] and chose Al Kifl Stadium as their home stadium for their Premier League matches.^[7]
