Review Background After the good level that the team showed in last season under the leadership of Valeriu Tița, who made the team top the league table after four rounds without losing, and had it not been for the cancellation of the league due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the team would have continued to make impressive performances, so the club management saw the need to renew the coach's contract and keep the players. Indeed, Tița's contract was renewed, and contracts renewed for most of the players of the previous season, also, good deals were added to the team, as the club signed the international player Emad Mohsin, the U-23 national team player, Abdul Abbas Ayad, and the U-20 national team player, Ali Shawqi. And the three foreign players were released, except for Abdoul Madjid Moumouni, who performed well, and three foreign professionals were signed, Senegalese Idrissa Niang, Ivorian Jean-Jacques Bougouhi, and Cameroonian Rostand Junior M'baï, as well as the Roman fitness coach Marius. It also appointed former player Rahim Bakr as a sports consultant within the technical staff. The league fixtures were released on 1 October, with Al-Minaa to kick off the new season home at Basra against Al-Hudood on 25 October.
