Despite Baghdad SC achieving good results at the beginning of the current Iraqi Stars League season, being among the top six teams and relying on a group of Tunisian and Algerian professionals, its results have started to decline gradually. This led the management to part ways with coach Essam Hamad. Baghdad SC, the football club competing in the Iraqi Stars League this season, is the third oldest club in the competition after Al-Minaa and Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, founded in 1957. However, the club is now suffering greatly and is in an unfavorable position, as it is in the relegation zone. There is a possibility of it returning to the Premier League, from which it was relegated last season.
