2017 Iraqi Super Cup


The 2017 Iraqi Super Cup was the 8th edition of the Iraqi [Super Cup], and the first since the competition's name was changed from Iraqi Perseverance Cup to Iraqi Super Cup. The match was contested between the Baghdad rivals, Al-Zawraa and Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, at Karbala International Stadium in Karbala. It was played on 17 November 2017 as a curtain-raiser to the 2017–18 season. Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya made their 5th appearance in the Super Cup while Al-Zawraa extended their record to 6 appearances. Al-Zawraa won the cup on penalties for the club's 4th title, a record.
Before the game, the Iraq Football Association decided that if the final was to finish as a draw after 90 minutes, the match would go straight to a penalty shootout, with no extra-time played. This turned out to be the case due to the last-minute Al-Zawraa equalising goal from Ali Rehema.
