On a decisive night at the Al-Shaab International Stadium, Amanat Baghdad managed to officially secure its place in the Iraq Stars League for the upcoming season 2025-2026, after achieving an important victory with a goal to nil against Basra Oil, in the promotion and relegation playoff match held on Monday evening, amidst a moderate crowd and great anticipation from the fans of both teams.

The only goal of the match came from player Jabbar Karim in the 79th minute, marking his decisive impact on the match and granting his team the ticket to the spotlight league, after a tough season in the first division. Amanat Baghdad succeeded in maintaining its lead despite Basra Oil's attempts to come back, as the referee blew the final whistle amidst great joy from the players and the technical and administrative staff of the capital team.

On the other hand, Basra Oil received a painful blow by falling to the Iraqi Premier League (first division), after a difficult season during which it faced many technical and administrative crises, culminating in disappointment after being eliminated from the Stars League after years of presence.

This qualification is considered a pivotal moment in the history of Amanat Baghdad, which has been absent from the spotlight league for several seasons, and has worked in the past period to build a young team supported administratively, proving its worth in the first division, and now aims to be a strong presence in the Stars League, not just as an honorary guest, but as a fierce competitor.

After the match, several Amanat Baghdad players expressed their great happiness with this achievement, pointing out that hard work and collective cohesion were the keys to qualification. The administration is expected to begin in the coming days to put a preparatory plan for the new season, whether in terms of training camps or contracts.
