History[]

Babylon Sport Club was founded in 1960. The team has played in the Iraqi Premier League since the start of the tournament in 1974,[1] and They had played for four seasons, and in all of them it had been struggling to stay away from relegation. In the end, they were relegated to the Iraq Division One in the 1978 season.[2] The team returned after eleven seasons, but quickly relegated at the end of the season again.[3]

In the 1993–94 season, originally, the Iraq Youth Team participated in the league. Their record was 25 games, 8 wins, 8 draws, 9 losses, 33 goals scored, 29 goals conceded and 24 points. At the halfway stage of the season, they were replaced by Babylon, and Babylon adopted the Youth Team's record at that point.[4] In the end, Babylon finished before last and survived from relegation, but finally relegated the following season.[5] After ten seasons, Babylon made a comeback in the league in 2004–05 season, but, as usual, they were relegated at the end of the season.
