The Iraq Football Association (Arabic: الاتحاد العراقي لكرة القدم‎‎) is the governing body of football in Iraq, controlling the Iraqi national team and the Iraq Super League. The Iraqi Football Association was founded in 1948 and has been a member of FIFA since 1950, the Asian Football Confederation since 1970, and the Sub-confederation regional body West Asian Football Federation since 2000. Iraq also is part of the Union of Arab Football Associations and has been a member since 1974. The Iraqi team is commonly known as Usood Al-Rafidain (Arabic: أسود الرافدين‎‎), which literally meaning Lions of Mesopotamia.

The Iraqi youth national teams have been ejected from tournaments for fielding over-age players. In 1989, Iraq was banned for using over-age players in the under-20 world championships in Saudi Arabia. That ban was extended when Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990.
