The last time an Iraqi club participated in the competition was way back in 2008, when both Erbil FC and Al Quwa-Al Jawiya featured. The tournament was eventually won by Japanese side Gamba Osaka.
A team from Iraq has never won the prestigious Asian club competition, with Al-Shorta and Al-Rasheed finishing runners-up on one occasion apiece.
The 2018 edition of the AFC Champions League was won by Kashima Antlers, who has lifted the trophy for the first time in their history.
