Iraqi football league system
The Iraqi football league system, also known as the football pyramid, is a series of interconnected leagues for men's association football clubs in Iraq. The system has a hierarchical format with promotion and relegation across leagues at different levels, allowing even the smallest club the theoretical possibility of ultimately rising to the very top of the system. There are 4 individual levels, containing 8 leagues. The top flight is governed by the Iraqi Pro League Association, while the other divisions are run by the Iraq Football Association (IFA).
