(1st title)

The 1957–58 Iraqi Central Cup Championship was the 2nd season of the Iraqi Central League (the top division of football in central Iraq (i.e. the capital city of Baghdad) from 1956 to 1974). It was played as a double-elimination tournament, with the teams that got knocked out earliest being relegated. Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya Al-Malikiya (now known as Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya) won their first ever title, after Montakhab Al-Shorta withdrew from the replay of the final due to missing many players from their squad with the Iraq Football Association refusing to move the game to another date.[1][2]
