2022–23 Iraqi Division Three

The 2022–23 Iraq Division Three will be the 49th season of the Iraq Division Three, the fourth tier in the Iraqi football league system, since its establishment in 1974. The number of clubs in the league have varied throughout history for various reasons; 120 clubs are set to participate in this year's edition. The top 38 teams in the league are promoted directly to Iraq Division Two. There is no general date for the start of the league, but each subsidiary football association chooses the best time to start the league in their region.[1]

All statistics correct as of 19 January 2023.

Teams

A total of 120 teams are competing for the league after some teams withdrew for financial reasons. The teams are originally promoted to the Iraq Division Two based on the rule of one qualified team out of every five participating teams. The number of teams that will be promoted to the Division Two will be 38 teams.[2]

Overview

The 120 clubs are supposed to be divided into 18 groups by location (some of these groups play in subgroups as well), and each group represents the province to which these clubs belong and lies within its borders. But there are 5 provinces that do not have clubs that play in this level.
