2nd Umm al-Ma'arik Championship
football tournament season
The 2nd Umm al-Ma'arik Championship (Arabic: بطولة أم المعارك الثانية) was the second occurrence of the Baghdad Championship. Unlike the last season where the competition was organised by Al-Talaba, this season was organised by the Iraq Football Association. The top eight teams of the 1991–92 Iraqi National League competed in the tournament. The competition started on 2 July 1992 and ended on 17 July 1992 where, in the final, held at Al-Shaab Stadium, Al-Talaba defeated Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya after extra time.
Background
After the Iraq Football Association adopted the Umm al-Ma'arik Championship, they held a meeting on 16 June 1992 to start the second edition of the competition which was decided to be from 2–17 July 1992 with the participation of the top eight teams from the 1991–92 Iraqi National League, instead of the top six, which included Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, Al-Zawraa, Al-Karkh, Al-Talaba, Al-Shorta, Al-Najaf, Al-Tayaran (now known as Al-Khutoot) and Al-Naft. The FA set the matches to be played at Al-Shaab Stadium, Al-Kashafa Stadium and Al-Shorta Stadium.
Group stage
The matches were drawn on 28 June 1992.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “2nd Umm al-Ma'arik Championship” as football tournament season. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as football tournament season. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 1, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q12198648. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1991 and 1992.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
