Al-Rasheed also reached the final in 1989 but lost on away goals. Those same two clubs are the only Iraqi teams to have won the Arab Club Champions Cup; Al-Shorta won the first ever edition in 1982 with Al-Rasheed winning that competition three times in a row (1985, 1986, 1987). Al-Talaba and Al-Zawraa both lost the final of the Asian Cup Winners' Cup in 1995 and 2000 respectively, before Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya won Asia's second-tier tournament, the AFC Cup, three consecutive times in 2016, 2017 and 2018.
