As the curtain approaches to fall on the 2025 edition of the Iraq Cup, discussions revive about the most successful coaches in the history of the tournament, and about the clubs that have left an indelible mark in one of the most prestigious football competitions in Iraq.

The esteemed coach Anwar Jassam is the most prominent name in the history of the competition, having successfully led Al-Zawraa to win the Iraq Cup five times, a record that no coach has been able to equal to this day, reflecting the extent of his artistic influence and the mark he left on the esteemed team.

Following him is coach Falah Hassan, who also won the title three times with Al-Zawraa, and during those periods presented an organized and disciplined team that dominated local championships. Meanwhile, both Thaer Jassam (with Al-Student), Adnan Hamad (with Al-Zawraa), and Ayoob Odaisho (with Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya) share two titles each, immortalizing their names in the memory of the tournament as creators of achievement.

As for the Egyptian coach Moamen Soliman, he entered history through a special door, having succeeded in winning the title twice, but with two different clubs: first with Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, then with Al-Police, confirming his high coaching abilities and quick adaptability to different clubs.

On the club level, Al-Zawraa still dominates the list of winners, having lifted the championship cup 16 times, making it the most successful club in its history, comfortably surpassing all other clubs, and solidifying its position as a cornerstone in Iraqi football.

Today, attention turns to the final of the 2025 edition, which brings together Duhok and Zakho, in a historic match taking place at the Al-Shaab International Stadium on Friday evening at 8 PM. The final will be different in every way, as a new champion will be crowned for the first time in the tournament's history, raising the excitement and adding a special character to the confrontation.

Both teams have a large fan base and present organized and passionate football, making predictions open and promising a memorable match that will be recorded in the golden finals of Iraqi football.
