Al-Talaba SC is an Iraqi professional association football club based in Al-Rusafa, Baghdad, who currently play in the Iraqi Premier League. It was established in 1969,[1] and has not been relegated from the Iraqi Premier League since its promotion in 1975.

The club moved to Al Talaba Stadium in the early-1980s. Since 2010 the club has played their home games at several stadiums until the construction of the new stadium is finished. Al-Talaba is part of the Popular Teams of Baghdad, who whenever they play against each other, it is considered a derby. The other Popular Teams are Al-Shorta, Al-Zawraa and Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya.[2] The club has won the Iraqi Premier League five times, the Iraq FA Cup twice and the Umm al-Ma'arik Championship three times.

In the 1995 Asian Cup Winners' Cup Al-Talaba reached the final and lost to Bellmare Hiratsuka, becoming only the third Iraqi team (Aliyat Al-Shorta were the first in 1971 and Al-Rasheed were the second in 1989) to have reached this far into an AFC competition. They are also the first Iraqi team to become the runners-up of the Asian Cup Winners' Cup.
