History[edit]

First achievement – 2022 WAFF Championship triumph[edit]

In 2022, the Iraq Football Association has committed to provide all means to develop the level of the women's national futsal team. On 8 May 2022, Iranian Shahnaz Yari was appointed as new head coach.[4] The team started a 10-day training camp in Tehran and played several friendly matches.[5][6][7] Following the training camp, Shahnaz Yari selected 14 players to compete in the 2022 WAFF Championship in Jeddah. Despite a narrow 1–0 loss to Bahrain in the opening match, Iraq was undeterred and won 7–0 against Palestine.[8][9] The team maintained its good performance by winning 12–0 against favourites Kuwait.[10] This victory propelled the Iraqi women's futsal team to play the first final in its history. In the final, Iraq beat hosts Saudi Arabia 4–2 to win the first ever women's futsal title.[11] Iraqi striker Shokhan Salihi finished as the tournament's top goalscorer with 7 goals.[12]
