Al-Naqil Football Club (Arabic: نادي النقل, meaning Transport Football Club), was an Iraqi football club based in Baghdad that was founded in 1937 under the name Al-Sikak Al-Hadeed (meaning Iron Railways). They were renamed Al-Naqil in 1974, competing in the first season of the Iraqi Premier League and finishing as runners-up. The club was dissolved in 1975 as they had no administration or financial backing. Their players left to join newly-promoted club Al-Zawraa, who went on to become giants of Iraqi football.[1]
Al-Naqil won one trophy in their existence, which was the 1973 Baghdad League. They won the tournament by defeating Aliyat Al-Shorta 3–1 in the final match.[2] They also reached the final of the 1974 Baghdad Knockout Cup, but they lost 2–1 against Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya.[3]
