This page has every Iraq DLS asset for Dream League Soccer 2026 — the official IFA logo, home kit, away kit, third kit, and goalkeeper kits, all in 512x512 PNG format. Iraq — the Lions of Mesopotamia (أسود الرافدين) — are one of Asian football's most historically significant and most emotionally powerful national teams: the country of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, of the world's first cities, of Babylon and Nineveh and Ur, whose 2007 AFC Asian Cup triumph in the midst of a raging sectarian civil war stands as one of the most extraordinary stories in the history of the game. A nation divided by violence, held together for one month by eleven players — Sunni, Shia and Kurdish together — who wore the red and white and black of the Iraqi flag and gave their country something it desperately needed: a reason to celebrate as one people. The red home shirt — the red of the Iraqi flag's upper stripe, set against the white and black of the Pan-Arab tricolour — is one of Asia's most immediately recognisable national team designs, and in DLS it is downloaded by the enormous Iraqi community across the country and across the diaspora in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, Australia and the United States. Every URL here is hosted on a fast CDN that allows hotlinking, so your badge and shirt load inside DLS on the first try.

Iraq Home Kit DLS 2026 Most Downloaded
Iraq's vivid red home shirt for DLS 2026 — the kit of the Lions of Mesopotamia, worn by one of Asia's most emotionally charged football nations and the team that won the AFC Asian Cup in 2007 while their country burned. The red of Iraq's football kit is drawn from the Iraqi national flag — a horizontal tricolour of red, white and black, with the Takbir (the phrase "Allahu Akbar" — "God is Great") written in green Kufic script across the white central stripe. The flag is a Pan-Arab tricolour: red, white and black are the colours of the Arab nationalist movement, shared with Syria, Egypt, Yemen and other Arab states, though each nation's flag arranges them differently. For Iraq, the red represents the blood of those who fought for the country — across the 20th century's many conflicts, from the 1920 Revolution against British mandate rule through the Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988), the Gulf War (1990–1991) and the 2003 invasion and its aftermath. The white represents generosity, peace and the open hand of the Arab people. The black represents the dark days of oppression overcome. The green Takbir script across the white stripe connects the flag to Iraq's Islamic identity and to the divine affirmation that has been the most common expression of faith across the Arab world for fourteen centuries. In DLS, the Iraq red home kit is downloaded by the enormous Iraqi diaspora community — one of the largest in the world, with significant concentrations in the United Kingdom (particularly in cities like Birmingham and London), Sweden, Germany, Jordan, the United States and Australia — and by the football community within Iraq itself, where the national team provides one of the most consistent sources of national pride and collective joy in a country that has known too little of either.

Iraq Away Kit DLS 2026 Away
Iraq's away kit for DLS 2026 uses white — the central stripe of the Iraqi flag representing generosity and peace — with red and black detailing and the green Takbir script motif that maintains the Lions of Mesopotamia identity in a contrasting palette. The white away kit is worn for Iraq's AFC away fixtures — the Asian Cup qualifying rounds, the West Asian Football Federation (WAFF) Championship against regional rivals Iran, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and others, and the World Cup qualifying rounds in the AFC where Iraq have been increasingly competitive under a succession of coaches building toward a first World Cup appearance since 1986. It sees elevated DLS downloads during Asian Cup qualifying campaigns and the WAFF Championship, when regional football passion in West Asia and among the diaspora is at its most intense.

Iraq Third Kit DLS 2026 Special Edition
Iraq's third kit for DLS 2026 is a special edition design used for colour clash situations. The IFA uses the third kit slot to celebrate Iraq's extraordinary civilisational heritage — the oldest cities in the world (Uruk, Eridu, Ur), the Code of Hammurabi (one of history's earliest written legal codes), the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Ziggurat of Ur, the Lion of Babylon, the Ishtar Gate whose reconstructed version stands in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, or the calligraphic tradition of the Kufic script in which the Takbir appears on the Iraqi flag. Iraq's third kit in DLS is a premium design for the football nation of the world's oldest civilisation — the land between the rivers that gave humanity writing, the wheel, mathematics, astronomy and the first cities, and that now gives Asian football one of its most resilient and most emotionally powerful national teams.

Iraq football badge history — the Lions of Mesopotamia, the 2007 miracle and the world's oldest civilisation (1948–2026)
The Iraq national football team badge carries the red, white and black of the Iraqi flag — the Pan-Arab tricolour of a nation whose history stretches back further than any other in the world — and the lion that connects the football team to the Lions of Babylon, one of the oldest and most powerful symbols of civilisational authority in human history. The IFA badge represents a football programme whose greatest achievement — the 2007 AFC Asian Cup, won while Iraq was tearing itself apart in sectarian civil war — stands as sport's most powerful recent demonstration of what a football team can mean to a people in crisis.
The Iraqi national flag is a horizontal tricolour of red at the top, white in the middle and black at the bottom — the Pan-Arab colours shared with many Arab nations — with the Takbir ("الله أكبر", Allahu Akbar — "God is Greatest") written in green Kufic Arabic script across the white central stripe. The current version of the flag, with the Takbir in standard green Kufic script, was adopted in 2008. The red represents the Arab people's blood and sacrifice. The white represents generosity, peace and a bright future. The black represents the oppression overcome and the dark past of colonial subjugation. The green Takbir inscription connects the flag to Iraq's Islamic identity and to the shared Islamic heritage of the Arab world. The three colours of the Iraqi flag give the football team its vivid red home shirt, white away shirt and black alternative — three of football's most powerful colours arranged in one of the most immediately recognisable national flag designs in the world.
The territory of modern Iraq is the heartland of Mesopotamia — the "Land Between the Rivers" (from Greek: mesos, middle; potamos, river) — the region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers where human civilisation first emerged in recognisable form approximately 6,000 years ago. The Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians and Assyrians who built the world's first cities in southern Mesopotamia gave humanity writing (cuneiform script, developed around 3200 BCE in Uruk), the wheel, the first codified legal system (the Code of Hammurabi, approximately 1754 BCE), the earliest known astronomical observations, the first schools and the first literature (the Epic of Gilgamesh — the world's oldest known narrative poem, written in Sumerian over 4,000 years ago). The Lion of Babylon — the ancient symbol of Babylonian power, depicted on the Ishtar Gate and throughout Mesopotamian art — is the direct ancestor of the Lions of Mesopotamia nickname that Iraq's football team carries. When the Lions play in the red, white and black, they represent the oldest continuous civilisational heritage of any national football team on earth.
The Iraqi Football Association was founded in 1948 — joining FIFA in 1950 and becoming a founding member of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) in 1954. Football had been introduced to Iraq during the British mandate period (1920–1932) and developed rapidly through Baghdad's urban communities. The Iraq national team played their first official international matches in the 1950s and became one of the more competitive teams in West Asian football through the 1960s and 1970s, qualifying for the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico — the only World Cup appearance in Iraq's history.
Iraq qualified for the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico — their first and only World Cup appearance, achieved in the midst of the Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988) that was claiming hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides. The achievement of qualifying while fighting a war of existential proportions gave the 1986 qualification a significance beyond football. At the tournament, Iraq were placed in a group with Paraguay, Belgium and the hosts Mexico, losing all three matches and being eliminated without scoring a goal. The red shirt from Mexico 1986 remains the most historically significant Iraq kit and a symbol of the country's ability to produce something positive even in its darkest hours.
The 2007 AFC Asian Cup final, played in Jakarta, Indonesia on 29 July 2007, is the single most significant result in Iraqi football history and one of the most extraordinary moments in the history of the sport. Iraq faced Saudi Arabia — the tournament favourites and four-time Asian Cup champions — in the final. Iraq, a nation in the grip of ferocious sectarian civil war between Sunni and Shia communities, with American and coalition forces fighting insurgents in the streets of Baghdad and Fallujah, had somehow made it to the final of Asia's premier football tournament with a squad of players drawn from all three of Iraq's major communities: Sunni Arabs, Shia Arabs and Kurds playing together under coach Jorvan Vieira with a unity that the country itself was struggling to find. Younis Mahmoud scored the only goal of the match with a header in the 71st minute. Iraq won 1-0. In Baghdad, in Mosul, in Kirkuk, in Basra — across the entire country — people poured into streets that moments earlier were too dangerous to walk, firing guns into the air in celebration rather than at each other. The sound of joy in a country that had almost forgotten what joy sounded like. The red shirt from that final in Jakarta is the most downloaded Iraq DLS design of all time — not just because of the football result, but because of what it meant to 30 million people who needed something to celebrate together.
Younis Mahmoud is Iraq's most celebrated footballer — the striker who scored the only goal of the 2007 Asian Cup final against Saudi Arabia and whose header in Jakarta gave Iraq the continental title that sent the country into celebrations unprecedented in the war years. Born in Kirkuk in 1983 — a Kurdish city in northern Iraq that has been one of the most contested territories in the country — Mahmoud's background as a Kurdish Iraqi scoring the goal that united Sunnis, Shias and Kurds in the same moment of joy gave the 2007 victory a specifically Iraqi meaning that transcended football. He went on to play in Qatar and across the Middle East, remaining the most beloved figure in Iraqi football history.
Nashat Akram — born in Baghdad in 1986 — was the creative engine of the 2007 AFC Asian Cup-winning squad, a technically gifted attacking midfielder whose combination of vision, passing and goal threat made him the most technically admired Iraqi footballer of the 2007 generation. He played his club football in Iraq, Jordan, Qatar and Kuwait and was one of the leaders of the team that Vieira built around collective spirit and tactical discipline. The 2007 squad — featuring also Hawar Mulla Mohammed, Haris, Salam Shaker and goalkeeper Noor Sabri — is the most beloved group of players in Iraqi football history.
Iraq have established themselves as one of West Asia's most consistently competitive football nations in the years since 2007, winning the WAFF Championship (West Asian Football Federation) multiple times and competing at successive AFC Asian Cups. The current squad, built around technically gifted players from the Iraqi Premier League and a growing number of European-based Iraqis, is targeting a second AFC Asian Cup title and the first World Cup qualification since 1986 — two goals that would complete the modern transformation of a national team that has rebuilt its football culture through decades of extraordinary national hardship.
The current Iraq logo for DLS 2026 uses the modern IFA lion crest at 512x512 PNG with transparent background. The red, the white, the black, the green Takbir, and the IFA identity are all present — the badge of the world's oldest civilisation, carried by the Lions of Mesopotamia.
What does the Iraq IFA badge symbolise?
The IFA badge carries the lion — the Lions of Mesopotamia, directly referencing the Lion of Babylon, the ancient Babylonian symbol of power and authority that appears on the Ishtar Gate and throughout the art of one of history's greatest empires. The lion represents strength, pride and the roar of a people who have endured some of the 20th and 21st centuries' most devastating conflicts and continued to send a football team onto the pitch that gives the country something to be proud of. The red, white and black of the badge mirror the Iraqi flag — the blood, the peace, the darkness overcome — and the green of the Takbir connects the football identity to the Islamic faith that is part of Iraq's cultural core. In DLS, the Iraq badge at 512x512 PNG carries more history per pixel than almost any other national team badge in the game — from the Sumerians of Uruk to the Lions of Jakarta in 2007.
Iraq kit history — red, white and black since 1950
The red, white and black of Iraq's football kit have been worn since the federation joined FIFA in 1950 — the Pan-Arab tricolour carried through the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, the decade of sanctions and hardship that followed the Gulf War, the 2003 invasion and the brutal years of sectarian civil war, and the 2007 Asian Cup triumph that gave Iraq football its greatest and its most emotionally significant moment. The red home shirt combined with the white away creates one of Asian football's most distinctive and most historically weighted national team colour combination — three colours that carry the entire complexity of modern Iraqi history.
Various manufacturers have supplied Iraq kits across different eras. The 2007 Asian Cup final kit — the red shirt worn by Younis Mahmoud when his header won the championship — is the most downloaded Iraq DLS design of all time and one of the most emotionally significant football kits in Asian history. The 1986 World Cup Mexico kit is the second most historically significant Iraq DLS design.

Iraq in DLS 2026 — the Lions of Mesopotamia, roaring from the land between the rivers
Iraq are Asian football's 2007 Asian Cup champions — winners of the most emotionally significant title in Asian football history, achieved while their country was in the grip of civil war, with a squad of Sunni, Shia and Kurdish players who played as one and gave 30 million people a reason to pour into the streets together. In DLS, the red badge and kit are downloaded by the enormous Iraqi diaspora worldwide and by football fans who know the 2007 story and understand what it means.
The Iraq squad for 2026 is building toward sustained World Cup qualification contention and continued Asian Cup presence. Amjad Attwan, Ahmed Yasin and Mohanad Ali represent the current attacking generation. Bashar Resan has been one of the Gulf League's most consistent midfielders. Goalkeeper Jalal Hassan — one of Asia's more reliable shot-stoppers in recent AFC qualifying campaigns — anchors the defensive line. Under coach Jesús Casas or his successor, Iraq target the second AFC Asian Cup title that would confirm the 2007 triumph as the beginning of a sustained era of continental excellence rather than a single miracle moment — and the first World Cup since 1986, which would write the Lions of Mesopotamia into the most global stage of the beautiful game.

A transparent PNG background is essential so the badge sits cleanly on the red home shirt without a coloured box around it.

What does Lions of Mesopotamia mean?
Lions of Mesopotamia (أسود الرافدين — "Usood al-Rafidayn") is Iraq's football nickname, combining two of the most powerful elements of Iraqi and ancient world identity. Mesopotamia is "the Land Between the Rivers" — the territory of the Tigris and Euphrates where the world's first cities were built and where human civilisation first emerged. The Lion references the Lion of Babylon — the ancient Babylonian symbol of power depicted on the Ishtar Gate — one of the most enduring symbols of Mesopotamian civilisation. Together they give Iraq's football team a nickname that connects the sport to over 6,000 years of human history.
What was the significance of Iraq winning the 2007 Asian Cup?
Iraq won the 2007 AFC Asian Cup in Indonesia — defeating Saudi Arabia 1-0 in the final through a Younis Mahmoud header — at a moment when Iraq was experiencing ferocious sectarian civil war between Sunni and Shia communities, with tens of thousands dying in the violence. The squad included players from all three of Iraq's major communities — Sunni Arabs, Shia Arabs and Kurds — who united under coach Jorvan Vieira to win Asia's premier tournament. When the final whistle blew, Iraqis poured into streets that moments earlier had been too dangerous to walk, celebrating together across sectarian divides. The 2007 Asian Cup is widely regarded as the most emotionally significant result in Asian football history.
Did Iraq ever play in a World Cup?
Yes — once. Iraq qualified for and played in the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico — their only World Cup appearance, achieved while the Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988) was ongoing. They were placed in a group with Paraguay, Belgium and hosts Mexico, losing all three matches without scoring a goal and being eliminated in the group stage. The achievement of qualifying for a World Cup while fighting a major war is itself a remarkable testament to Iraqi football's resilience.
Who is Younis Mahmoud?
Younis Mahmoud — born in Kirkuk, Iraq in 1983 — is Iraq's most celebrated footballer and the scorer of the most important goal in Iraqi football history. A Kurdish Iraqi striker, his header in the 71st minute of the 2007 Asian Cup final against Saudi Arabia won Iraq the championship. The fact that a Kurdish player scored the goal that united Sunnis, Shias and Kurds in celebration gave the 2007 victory a specifically Iraqi meaning that transcended sport. He played his club career in Iraq, Qatar and across the Gulf and remains the most beloved figure in Iraqi football.
What is the Takbir on Iraq's flag?
The Takbir is the phrase "الله أكبر" (Allahu Akbar — "God is Greatest") written in green Kufic Arabic calligraphy across the white central stripe of the Iraqi flag. It was first added to the Iraqi flag in 1991 during the Gulf War and the current version in standard Kufic script was adopted in 2008. The Takbir is one of the most widely used phrases in Islamic tradition and its presence on the flag connects Iraq to its Islamic cultural identity and to the broader Arab-Islamic world.
Does the Iraq DLS logo URL work in DLS 24, DLS 25, and DLS 26?
Yes. The logo and kit import system is identical across DLS 24, DLS 25, and DLS 26. Any working 512x512 PNG URL used in one version works in all of them.
How many Iraq kits are there for DLS 2026?
Iraq has six kit variants for DLS 2026: the home outfield kit, the away outfield kit, the third outfield kit, the home goalkeeper kit, the away goalkeeper kit, and the third goalkeeper kit. All six are on this page with separate copy buttons.
Is the Iraq DLS logo free to use?
Yes, completely free. No signup, no payment, no limit. Copy as many Iraq logo and kit URLs as you need from this page.
Can I use the Iraq badge and all kits together in DLS?
Yes — and it gives the most authentic Lions of Mesopotamia experience. Go to Customize Team, use Edit Logo for the IFA lion badge, and Edit Kit for each shirt slot. Using both together means the Mesopotamian lion crest appears correctly on every red home, white away, and third shirt in every DLS match.
