Aliyat Al-Shorta won their third league title and Al-Shorta's fourth, and they became the first team to win three Central League titles in a row. Aliyat Al-Shorta's title win qualified them for the 1971 Asian Club Championship (now known as the AFC Champions League), becoming the first ever Iraqi team to qualify for a major continental club competition.[1] Al-Bareed's Kadhim Abboud was top scorer with eight goals.
