Officially.. Al-Qasim Club is the First to be Relegated to the Iraqi Premier League
The curtain has officially fallen on Al-Qasim Club's season in the Iraqi Stars League, after it was confirmed that they were relegated to the Iraqi Premier League following the end of round 29, making them the first club to leave the spotlight league this season. A disastrous season by all standards for a team that finished at the bottom of the standings with only one point out of a possible 87 points.
Al-Qasim played 29 matches in the Iraqi Stars League this season, resulting in: zero wins, one draw, and 28 losses. The team collected only one point out of 29 rounds, a tally that led some global statistics sites to rank it as the 'worst or weakest club in the world' this season in terms of results.
Offensively, Al-Qasim scored only 7 goals throughout the season, averaging 0.24 goals per match. Defensively, the situation was bleaker, as they conceded 74 goals, averaging 2.55 goals per match. A goal difference of -67 sums up the extent of the suffering experienced by the team and its fans since the first round.
Al-Qasim sits in the 20th and last position with one point, significantly far from the nearest safety spots. With only 9 rounds remaining until the end of the league, it has become mathematically impossible for the team to escape relegation, with round 29 officially announcing their relegation to the Iraqi Premier League.
The team never tasted victory this season, and the only draw they achieved was seen as an 'achievement' in a season to forget. Coaching staffs succeeded each other, players changed, but the result remained the same: loss after loss, and a weak performance that made Al-Qasim the 'weakest link' in the Iraqi Stars League.
Al-Qasim's decline began at the start of the season due to administrative and financial problems that affected the signings and preparation period. The team entered the league with a lineup mostly of young players and without influential professionals, making them an easy target for all competitors. Changing 3 coaches during the season did not help, and the results continued to deteriorate round after round.
