The number of clubs in the league have varied throughout history for various reasons; 170 clubs participated in this year's edition. The top four teams in the Final Qualifiers will be promoted directly to the Iraqi First Division League.^[1]

Overview

A total of 170 teams are competing for the league after some teams withdrew for financial reasons. The teams are originally promoted to the Iraqi First Division League based on the rule of one qualified team out of every five participating teams. The number of teams that will be promoted to the First Division League will be 4 teams.^[2]

The 170 clubs are supposed to be divided into 18 groups by location (some of these groups play in subgroups as well), and each group represents the province to which these clubs belong and lies within its borders. But there are 5 provinces that do not have clubs that play in this level.
