- For reasons unclear, the Iraq Football Association decided to admit runners-up Al-Rasheed into the Asian Club Championship, rather than league champions Al-Tayaran.
- Al-Karkh took Al-Rasheed's place in the top division after Al-Rasheed were disbanded.
- Al-Zawraa qualified for the Arab Club Champions Cup by winning the Iraq FA Cup.
