Al-Karkh

Al-Karkh Educational Sports Club (Arabic: نادي الكرخ التربوي الرياضي‎) known as Al-Karkh Sports Club or simply Al-Karkh is an Iraqi sports club based in Karkh, Baghdad. Its professional football team plays in the Iraqi Premier League, the top tier of the Iraqi football. The club's home stadium is Al-Saher Ahmed Radhi Stadium. Founded in 1963, Al-Karkh wasn't successful in reaching the top-flight of Iraqi football until Al-Rasheed SC's properties and place in the top division were transferred to Al-Karkh when Al-Rasheed were dissolved in 1990.
