The 1958–59 Iraq Central FA First Division Cup was the 11th season of the Iraq Central FA League (the top division of football in Baghdad and its neighbouring cities from 1948 to 1973). It was played as a double-elimination tournament.[1]

Amanat Al-Asima won their first title, and the second title in the history of the teams that were later merged to form Amanat Baghdad,[2][3] beating Al-Athori 1–0 in the final which was ended at half-time due to the withdrawal of Al-Athori's players.

Final[]

The match was ended at half-time after Al-Athori players left the field in the 40th minute following the referee's decision to award Amanat Al-Asima a penalty, which they subsequently kicked into an empty net.[25] Al-Athori players claimed that they had left the field due to the referee's refusal to deal with the behaviour of Amanat Al-Asima's fans rather than due to his awarding of a penalty kick.[26] Al-Athori's captain Sarkis Shamson was suspended for six months following the incident, while forward Ammo Baba and goalkeeper Yacoub Yousef were given warnings and the club's sports secretary Youil George Baba was suspended for one year.[27]
