Iraqi clubs in the AFC Champions League

The Iraqi Clubs in the AFC Champions League. From its introduction in 2003 until the forming of the AFC Professional League in 2009, Iraqi clubs were allowed to enter at the AFC Champions League. Despite reaching respectable results, none of the Iraqi teams managed to get further than the Group Stage.

Since Iraq didn't met any of the AFC standards for the ACL, its clubs participated at the AFC Cup from 2009 on. However, from 2014 onwards after a change in the rules, the AFC said that the Iraqi champions would play in the qualification stage of the tournament which includes three rounds. If they win all three rounds, they qualify to the competition proper.
