Description

Al Naft Sport Club (Arabic: نادي النفط الرياضي‎, lit. 'Oil SC') is an Iraqi professional sports club based in the Adhamiyah District, East Districts of the Tigris River, Baghdad. Their football team plays in the highest division in Iraq which is the Iraqi Premier League, which they have never been relegated from.

Al-Naft Sports Club was established in 1979 by the Ministry of Oil, and was officially registered in the Ministry of Youth and Sports in 1982. In the 1985 season the team played in the Iraqi Premier League for the first time, and finished in the penultimate position that season, and have remained in the Premier League since then, being one of only nine clubs to never be relegated from the top flight. The club has not won a trophy in its 40-year existence, but they were runners-up of the Al-Nasr Wal-Salam Cup in 1996, the Durand Cup in 1996, the Iraqi Elite Cup in 1998, and the Iraqi Premier League in 2017, and qualified to play in the Arab Club Champions Cup. In the 2018–19 Arab Club Champions Cup, Al-Naft managed to overcome the Tunisian club: CS Sfaxien and expelled it from the championship and qualify for the round 16, but then lost to the Saudi club: Al-Hilal, and left the tournament.
