Babil Sport Club was founded in 1960. The team has played in the Iraqi Premier League since the start of the tournament in 1974,[3] and They had played for four seasons, and in all of them it had been struggling to stay away from relegation. In the end, they were relegated to the Iraq Division One in the 1978 season.[4] The team returned after eleven seasons, but quickly relegated at the end of the season again.[5]
