The Iraq national futsal team represents Iraq in international futsal competitions and is controlled by the Futsal Commission of the Iraq Football Association. It is one of the rising teams in Asia. As of November 2017, Iraq is ranked 50th in the Futsal World Rankings.[1] Iraq has played in eleven AFC Futsal Championships. Its best result was fourth place in 2018. Iraq has also played at three WAFF Futsal Championships where in 2007, they finished third. In 2009, they won the tournament to gain their first ever title on any international stage. In 2012, much like in 2007, they once again finished in third place. Iraq also played at the 2005 and 2008 Arab Futsal Championships, but didn't manage to make it out of the group stage both times.
