Quwat Salahaddin (Template:Lang-ar) was an Iraqi football team based in Habbaniyah which competed in the Iraq Central FA League from the 1962–63 season until the 1972–73 season. They also competed in Iraq's first national football league in the 1973–74 season.
Quwat Salahaddin were founded as Al-Firqa Al-Thalitha (Template:Lang-ar) and were originally based in Baqubah before moving to Habbaniyah and entering the Iraq Central FA League,[1] which they won on one occasion in 1965–66. They also won the Iraq Central FA Perseverance Cup on two occasions, and the team was renamed to Quwat Salahaddin in 1972.
In 1974, the Iraq Football Association decided to implement a clubs-only policy for domestic competitions, forming the Iraqi National League of Clubs which was only open to clubs and not institute-representative teams such as Quwat Salahaddin.[2] With the IFA dictating that only a single club would be allowed to represent the Army in the new top-flight, Al-Jaish Sports Club was established on 18 August 1974 by the Iraqi Olympic Committee,[3] replacing Quwat Salahaddin, Quwat Al-Nasr and Al-Quwa Al-Bahriya in the top-flight.
