The Iraqi Pro League Association (Arabic: رابطة دوري المحترفين العراقي; IPLA) is a sports association responsible for administering the two professional football leagues in Iraq, the Iraq Stars League and, from the 2024–25 season, Iraqi Premier Division League, with the possibility of the Iraqi First Division League becoming under its umbrella in the future. Founded in 2023, the organisation will have independent legal status from the Iraq Football Association (IFA) and it is autonomous in its operations. Its main role, in addition to defending its members' interests, is to organise the national league championship in conjunction with the IFA.[1][2][3]
