Independent Baghdad Tournament

| Champions | Al-Sikak Al-Hadeed |
The Independent Baghdad Tournament (Arabic: دورة بغداد الخاصة) was a tournament organised by the Iraq Football Association in 1973, independently from its main regional league competitions, to allow teams from or near Baghdad to continue playing matches after the premature end to the 1972–73 Iraq Central FA First Division.[1] The teams were not able to field players that had been called up for the Iraq national team or the Iraq military team, as those players were preparing for the World Cup qualifiers and the Military World Championship respectively.[2]
The tournament began on 5 March, with the regular season ending on 24 May and the championship play-off being played on 14 June, where Al-Sikak Al-Hadeed won the tournament by defeating Aliyat Al-Shorta 3–1.[2]
