Season summary

Pre-season

The first step that was taken by the administrative board was to renew Ayoub Odisho's contract for another season, announcing it on their Facebook page on 10 June 2016 with a worth of 300m IQD.[1][2] With Kareem Salman being taken to the Iraq national under-23 team as an assistant manager, Al-Talaba were left to sign a new assistant, contacting Mudhaffar Jabbar and Saadi Toma, who refused the offer,[3] and Shaker Mahmoud who approved and was signed on 15 July.[4]

Al-Talaba announced on 13 June their first six signings.[5] They signed eight other players including two big names, Ameer Sabah and Mustafa Karim, on 20 June, returning to their home club.[6][7] The board also renewed the contracts of 12 players including last season's captain, Younis Mahmoud,[8] second captain Mahdi Karim, and the team's playmaker, Samer Saeed.[9] Al-Talaba released Mustafa Karim and Ameer Sabah in August, after two months of signing them due to a financial dispute with the board along with signing the three allowed foreign players who were all from Africa.[10]

September

Al-Talaba started their 2016–17 Iraqi Premier League campaign on 15 September 2016 with a 1–1 draw against their rivals Al-Shorta, equalizing the score just before the end of the first half with a header from the team's captain, Samer Saeed, from a corner after the opponent took advantage of a miscommunication between Ali Abdul-Hassan and Ehab Kadhim and scored the first goal.[11] In the second round, Al-Talaba managed to get a 1–0 win against the title holders Al-Zawra'a with Samer Saeed's goal from Saad Jassim's cross.[12] Against the newly promoted club Al-Hussein, Al-Talaba claimed their second win with a goal from Karrar Ali Barri while playing with ten men due to the injury of Muthana Khalid and having no substitutes left.[13]

October

After their match against Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya was postponed, Al-Talaba faced the newly promoted side Al-Bahri away. The match ended in a 2–2 draw with the goals of Mustafa Al-Ameen, which went in from a deflection in the second minute of the match, and Ehab Kadhim from a penalty in the second half before Al-Bahri equalized in the last minutes with a penalty as well.[14] Al-Talaba returned to their winning ways with a comfortable 3–0 against Karbalaa at home. Two goals were scored by Yassir Abdul-Mohsen and the last one was scored from a penalty by Mahdi Karim.[15]

November

Al-Talaba went into their sixth game of the season with no losses to face Al-Naft away. After only 12 seconds, Al-Naft scored and in the 18th minute, they extended the lead, ending the first half at 2–0. In the second half, Samer Saeed pulled one back before the team captain Mahdi Karim equalized from a penalty in the extra time.[16] On 6 November, the club announced its bankruptcy and decided to stop all of its activities and withdraw from the league.[17] After two days, they took back their decision after the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Abdul-Razzaq Al-Essa promised the club to pay for all of its dues after an interference from the Minister of Youth and Sport Abdul-Hussein Aptan to solve the situation.[18] In the 8th round, Al-Talaba faced Erbil at home. They dominated the match but Erbil's defense denied them many goals which resulted in a 0–0 draw.[19]

Iraqi Premier League

League table

The 2016–17 Iraqi Premier League (Arabic: الدوري العراقي الممتاز 2016–17‎) was the 43rd season of the Iraqi Premier League, the highest division for Iraqi association football clubs, since its establishment in 1974. The season started on 15 September 2016,[20] and ended on 10 August 2017.[21]

Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya won their sixth Premier League title, finishing four points ahead of second-placed Al-Naft and losing just one game throughout the campaign. This was Jawiya's first league title since the 2004–05 season, and their manager Basim Qasim became the joint-most successful manager in the league's history with three titles.[22][23]

Locations of the 2016–17 Iraqi Premier League teams

Twenty teams were to compete in the league – the top eighteen teams from the previous season, as well as two teams promoted from the Iraq Division One. However, Erbil withdrew from the league after 12 rounds, so nineteen teams completed the season.

Al-Hussein were promoted as the leaders of the final stage after drawing 1–1 against Brayati on 19 July 2016, at Al-Shaab Stadium, to appear for the first time in their history in the Iraqi Premier League. Al-Bahri were promoted, to appear for the seventh time in the Iraqi Premier League (the first since 1990–91), as the runners-up after drawing with Al-Sinaat Al-Kahrabaiya 2–2 on the same day at Al-Karkh Stadium.[24] They replace Duhok, who withdrew from the last season,[25] and Al-Sinaa.

Soccer Iraq Goal of the Season	Ali Raheem	Al-Zawraa

gollark: It's not really "motivated" as much as "don't hate it enough to go through the social awkwardness of going through the process of switching options", though.

gollark: I can't get motivated to exercise without being required to by school (since I picked "fitness" as one of my sports options), since it's one of those things I probably should do but don't like doing.

gollark: that moment when you actually do regular exercise at home(other people do, I mean)

gollark: I don't see myself doing that, since I basically only do exercisey things through a combination of being required(ish) to due to picking "fitness" as one of my sport options, some concern for my health, and the fact that it's in the sport-y environment at school and during a timeslot when there aren't really many other options.

gollark: My school's apparently planning for that too, by sending us... links to YouTube videos of HIIT routines they'll apparently ask us to do if school closes.
