1992–93 Iraqi National League

The 1992–93 Iraqi National League was the 19th season of the competition since its foundation in 1974. The league title was won by Al-Talaba for the fourth time in their history, becoming the joint-most successful team in the Premier League era at the time. The league was 69 rounds long (totalling 828 matches) in total, the most rounds in any season in the competition's history, with the Iraq Football Association (IFA) deciding that no player could play more than 46 matches. Players that had been selected for the Iraq national team were released for international duty by their clubs after round 24, after which they did not participate in any more league matches.

After 46 rounds, the IFA decided to remove the four lowest-placed teams from Baghdad along with the lowest-placed team from outside Baghdad, and replaced them with five new teams to play the remaining 23 games in their place, with each new team adopting the record of the club they had replaced.[1][2] Al-Talaba also won the Iraqi Elite Cup in the 1992–93 season to complete a domestic double.
