Administrative problems
On 18 September, the Federal Court of Cassation decided to invalidate the Al-Minaa Club elections, which took place on January 26, 2023, after the lawsuit filed by the former president of club, Jalil Hanoon.[60][61] On 11 October, the Iraqi Olympic Committee decided to dissolve the club’s administrative body and appoint a temporary administrative body headed by Ahmed Khalaf Thijeel, with elections to be held to choose a new body within a period of three months.[62]
Summer transfer ban
In May 2023, the Iraqi Football Association received a notice from FIFA informing it of banning Al-Minaa Club from summer transfer contracts, due to previous debts owed by the administration for the dues of professional players who played for the team and who filed an official complaint for the FIFA.[63] At that time, Al-Mina Club management announced that there were no debts or a ban on the club from registering players, indicating that the FIFA decision was “temporary” and the issue would be resolved and settled before the start of the Iraq Stars League next season.[64] However, after the completion of the summer transfers and the holding of the league draw and a few days before the start of the tournament, the club was informed by FIFA not to approve the registration of the new players due to the ban. The club was informed that it must limit itself to players from the previous season to participate in the league, and the remaining players of the previous season were only 11 players. As a result, the coaching staff revealed two days before the first round match that he would leave the task of leading the football team for this reason.[65][66]
Late October (league start)
Al-Minaa played their first home game of the season against Al-Kahrabaa in Basra Sports City on October 27. The team entered this match with a significant shortage of players due to the ban imposed by FIFA, as it played without professionals, and excluded all the players who were contracted in the summer, so that the number of remaining players was only 12 players, to whom 4 players from the academy were added, and the team was led by coach Qahtan Chathir.[67] Mahmoud Khalil opened the scoring in the 16th minute for Al-Kahrabaa, and doubled their lead on 23 minutes when Amir Faisal cut inside and arrowed into the right corner. In the 57th minute, Ayad Abed Farhan scored for Al-Minaa, but the goal was canceled after returning to VAR. In the 64th minute, Al-Minaa won a penalty kick, which Ayad Abed Farhan took, but the Al-Kahrabaa goalkeeper Ali Ebadi was able to block it. In the 90th minute, Hassan Odah pulled a goal back for Al-Minaa from a close shot, Anael Barga Ngoba sealed the match with a third goal for the visitors in extra time, ending the match with Al-Minaa losing 1–3. The game also saw League debutant acadimy players Mohammed Ghaleb and Hameed Ali Hameed as substitutes in 56th, 85th minutes from match.[68][69]
The Al-Minaa administration tried to search for a solution before the second match to register the reserve team players in the first team squad, but to no avail, and only two players from the previous season were registered, namely Mohammed Shokan and Muslim Musa Fayyadh.[70] The team played its second match when it was a guest of the Al-Karkh at Al-Saher Ahmed Radhi Stadium on October 31. Al-Minaa started scoring through Hameed Ali with a powerful shot in the 13th minute, and the referee awarded a penalty kick to Al-Karkh in the 25th minute, after returning to the VAR, after which the match was stopped when the coaching staff for Al-Minaa decided to withdraw in protest against the decision, then they retracted the withdrawal, and the Al-Minaa goalkeeper Mohammed Sabah was able to blocked the penalty kick taken by Omar Nouri, but Al-Karkh was after that able to score 4 goals, causing Al-Minaa to lose 4–1.[71][72]
November
The Al-Minaa management tried to postpone the team’s match, which was supposed to play against Al-Shorta on November 3, due to the lack of players who will participate in the match due to the injuries and stress that some of them suffered during previous matches, in addition to the FIFA penalty that prevented the club from concluding new contracts. However, the Iraqi Football Association refused to postpone the match.[73] Al-Minaa team entered the match with only 7 players and no substitutes. In the 5th minute, Al-Shorta striker Mohanad Ali scored a goal for the visitors. Shortly after that, Al-Minaa player Mohammed Khudhair was injured and left the match. The referee announced the end of the match with Al-Shorta winning 3–0, as the football law does not allow Continuously playing with less than 7 players for both teams.[74][75][76]
After the incident of the match against Al-Shorta, the club management decided to agree to terminate the contract of the technical staff led by Qahtan Chathir by mutual consent.[77] They also decided to terminate the contracts of the six professionals and the 15 local players who were contracted this summer by mutual consent.[78] A committee was formed to study the causes of the current crisis, contract with a new coach, and focus on forming a team of Academy players to complete league matches.[79][80][81]
Al-Minaa's temporary administration decided to sign a contract with coach Asaad Abdul Razzaq,[82][83] assisted by academy coach Mohammed Abdul Hussein and goalkeeper coach Medhat Abdul Hussein, who are from sons of the club.[84] An agreement was reached with the new staff, and they traveled with the team to Sulaymaniyah to play with Newroz in the fourth round of the league.[85][86] Al-Minaa played its match against Newroz with only 16 players,[87] and was able to impose a goalless draw on the host team in its stadium and in front of its fans, and obtain the first point in the league.[88][89] The club's management considered that a draw in such circumstances was a good start to correct the team's path.[90]
But coach Abdul Razzaq did not officially contract, and did not reach an agreement with the club’s management, and their negotiations with him failed,[91] and it was said that he does not have an AFC Pro-Diploma, which the Football Association requires that league coaches possess,[92] while team supervisor Ali Fadhel said that Abdul Razzaq withdrew due to his poor health condition.[93] On November 19, the administration announced the hiring of coach Hassan Ahmed, along with his assistant staff, Nasser Talla Dahilan, Mahmoud Yasser, and Qusay Jabbar, and they led the training unit on the same day.[94]
In the first match of the new technical staff, on November 23 at Al-Fayhaa Stadium in Basra, the Al-Minaa team was able to defeat Al-Qasim 1–0, as Haider Salem scored with a header in the 17th minute, when Shokan raised the ball and Salem received it with his head and shot it on the left side of Al-Qasim’s goalkeeper, who he was unable to push it away, so it entered the net, and thus the team achieved its first victory, and got the first 3 full points in the league.[95][96] Al-Minaa coach Hassan Ahmed said in the press conference after the match: Winning this match is a gift we offer to the club’s fans on the occasion of its 92nd anniversary. We only have 16 players and 2 goalkeepers, most of whom are young, and this represents a great challenge for any coach.[97][98]
December
In the sixth round match, Al-Minaa faced Naft Maysan at Maysan Olympic Stadium on December 1. The match was led by referee Laith Farhan,[99] and ended in favor of Naft Maysan 3–0, as Alaa Al Dali scored a hat-trick in minutes 45+5, 69, 90+11.[100][101] Coach Hassan Ahmed said after the match in a radio interview that the referee awarded three goals that were not valid goals, and refused to go back to VAR, and that the reason for the referee’s decisions was bias in favor of Naft Maysan, because the club has influential people within the Football Association and they are the ones who chose the referees in order to provide services for Naft Maysan to win.[102] These statements led to creating a crisis between the two clubs, and as a result, the Naft Maysan Administration filed a complaint against the Al-Minaa coach, while the Al-Minaa Administration apologized to the Naft Maysan Administration, and decided to ban the statements completely in order to avoid misunderstanding, and to limit themselves to press conferences after the matches.[103] Ahmed later confirmed that his statements were interpreted incorrectly, and that he did not want to offend Naft Maysan's management, but rather wanted to relieve pressure on his players, and he said words fail me.[104]
In the seventh round match, Al-Minaa faced Al-Najaf at home on December 6. Younes Hamoud scored early for the visitors in the 4th minute, and before the end of the first half, Karrar Jaafar scored the equalizer for Al-Minaa with a missile strike from outside the 18-yards line in the 43rd minute. Five minutes later, Sajjad Alaa scored the second goal from a rebound from Al-Najaf goalkeeper Sarhang Muhsin after blacking Shokan’s free kick.[105] In the second half, Al-Minaa completed the match with 9 players after Mohammed Shokan and Hameed Ali Hameed were sent off,[106] but they were able to win[107] and the team rose to 15th place in the standings.[108] The team's coach, Hassan Ahmed, said in the press conference that my team will make Al-Fayhaa Stadium a graveyard for its competitors in the Iraq Stars League.[109] He was chosen as the best coach in the seventh round of the league.[110] Karrar Jaafar's goal against goalkeeper Sarhang Muhsin was considered a rare incident, as Karrar is considered the youngest player in the league (16 years old), while Sarhang is the oldest goalkeeper in the league (37 years old), and when he was playing with the national team in 2006, Karrar had not born yet.[111]

In the tenth round match, Al-Minaa faced Naft Al-Wasat at Al-Najaf International Stadium on December 19, in the absence of two of its most important players, Abdullah Mohsin and Hassan Odeh, with the team suffering from a numerical deficiency this season.[119] The match ended in a scoreless draw.[120][121] After the end of the match, the head of the referees’ committee, Najah Rehem, admitted that the match referee, Sajjad Khalid, made a mistake in not awarding a clear penalty kick in favor of Al-Minaa, despite his use the VAR.[122] In the eleventh round of the league, Al-Minaa received at its home stadium its traditional rival, Naft Al-Basra, in the Basra derby on December 22. Al-Minaa was the better team in the match,[123] and was able to advance with a goal scored by Mohammed Shokan with a header, but Naft Al-Basra scored the equalizer in the last minutes, so the match ended with a score of 1–1.[124] After the end of the derby match, Naft Al-Basra coach Abdul-Wahab Abu Al-Hail resigned,[125] as the Basra derby matches was frequently known for the dismissal and resignation of coaches.[126]

The victory over the Karbalaa team was not easy. I put in my calculations to come out with a one point, and play to win at the same time according to the course of the match, and we played until the last minute offensively, playing with two attackers. We had three clear chances to score in the last five minutes when Karbalaa rushed to adjust the score. But we did not score more goals.[131] And the official sponsor of the team, General Manager of GCPI, Farhan Al-Farttousi, confirmed after the victory over Karbalaa that Al-Minaa is a great fan club, and we must all stand with it and provide more support and assistance to it..[132]
