The 1993–94 Iraqi National League was the 20th season of the competition since its foundation in 1974. The league title was won by Al-Zawraa for the fifth time in their history, and they also won the Iraq FA Cup to secure the double. The top scorer, Younis Abid Ali, set a record for the most goals scored in one Iraqi League season (36) which still stands today. Al-Zawraa lost only one match out of 50, going 38 games unbeaten on their way to the title. They went one game unbeaten at the start of the 1994–95 season, completing a 39-match unbeaten streak that broke the record set by Al-Shorta (31) between 1979 and 1981.[1][2]
