Iraq Central FA Perseverance Cup

The Iraq Central FA Perseverance Cup, previously called Iraq Central FA Altruism Cup (Arabic: كاس الإيثار, Al-Athar Cup), was an annual Iraqi football match contested between the champions and the runners-up of the previous Iraq Central FA League season. Only four editions of the tournament were played before the Iraq Football Association decided to replace regional tournaments with national tournaments, with the Iraqi Perseverance Cup (now known as Iraqi Super Cup) becoming the nation's super cup tournament.[1][2][3][4]
