Al-Minaa Sports Club (
Al-Minaa was founded on November 22, 1931, in Al-Maqal. In 1974, the club was merged with another team called Al-Bareed to form a single club called Al-Muwasalat, and it was a strange situation because the Al-Bareed team were based in Baghdad while Al-Minaa were based in Basra and the two teams met in Baghdad on the day of the match only, so after just one season the club was dissolved and Al-Minaa returned in their place. In 1978, the team won the national league title for the first time. After a lean period in the post-war years, the team finished second in the league in the 2004–05 season, and therefore qualified for the 2006 AFC Champions League, becoming the first Iraqi club from outside Baghdad to play in this tournament.
For a long time, the club was considered to be one of the Iraqi football clubs that had its own style of play, and the team practised only under the supervision and training of coaches who graduated from the club, until the beginning of 2011, when the club started to depend on foreign coaches.

Matches with foreign teams (1952–1972)
The 1950s and 1960s were periods of preparation for Al-Minaa, and the team played several friendly matches with different teams in this period; some of these clubs were strong European teams, and other were strong Asian teams. These matches helped the club develop the qualities of the players in terms of tactics and technique and other aspects. On 6 January 1956, Al-Minaa played with Tehran F.C. and lost 3–0,[19] and after a year they played with a number of English sailors teams, who were arriving in Basra in those years.[20] On December 20, 1958, Al-Minaa team travelled to

Al-Minaa were in first place in their First Stage group,[86] with six wins, one draw and two losses, but the many mistakes for the referees against the team[87][88] and then a number of problems arose between the club management and some players[89][90] and other reasons[91] which caused a decline in the level of the team, although the team still managed to qualify for the Elite Group. Their performances in the Elite Group were not up-to-scratch, so the team ended the season in sixth place.[92]

Stadium
Construction work for Al-Minaa Olympic Stadium began on March 22, 2011[117][118][119] to be the club's new stadium with a capacity of 30,000 spectators, being built on an area of 52 acres.[120]

Supporters
Al-Minaa fans often refer to themselves as "Jamhoor Al-Safana", the name derived from the team's nickname, "Al-Safana". The fanbase is large and generally loyal; in 2014–15, Al-Minaa had the highest average League attendance for an Iraqi club (40,000, which was 66.6% of available capacity).[134] Al-Minaa has the Promoters Association, which was established at the beginning of the club's starting point, and remained supportive of the team in all their matches, and traveled with them wherever they went.[135]
In June 2014, Al-Minaa supporters founded a group known as "Ultras Safana". The supporters group has become well known throughout Iraqi football as one of the most passionate groups of football fans in Iraq and the group's banners and logos can be seen in any stadium that their club play in. The number of group members is increasing. The foundation of this group has significantly increased both the number of Al-Minaa fans in stadiums and their presence in matches.[136] Ultras Safana won the title of Best Ultras in the Iraqi league a year after its founding,[137] as well as in the second consecutive year.[138]
The supporters of Al-Minaa are very many, spread throughout the provinces of Iraq, and some live outside Iraq, and was considered to be the best fans in the Iraqi league.[137][139][140]
