The Iraq women's national football team is the female representative football team for Iraq.
History The Iraq women's team has its roots in futsal, a game with some similarities to football, played on an indoor court. Futsal has been more accessible to women in Iraq than football, and the Iraq Football Association has organized futsal tournaments with the intention to develop some of the players into football players.
The team played its first international match in 2010. Iraq's first participation in a women's major football tournament was the 2018 AFC Women's Asian Cup qualification.
