Al-Shorta began the season by winning the Iraqi Super Cup, beating Al-Karkh 1–0.[2][3] After a slow start to their league campaign, winning just three games from their first nine, Al-Shorta picked up their form but dismissed manager Moamen Soliman in March after a Baghdad Derby defeat to Al-Zawraa. Soliman's assistant Ahmed Salah took charge of the team for the remainder of the season and managed to steer the club to their second consecutive league title after overtaking Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya at the top of the table, clinching the title with a 3–0 win away to Naft Maysan in the penultimate round of the season.[4]
In the Iraq FA Cup, Al-Shorta reached the round of 16 but were eliminated by Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya 7–6 on penalties after a 1–1 draw. At the end of the season, Al-Shorta participated in the Arab Club Champions Cup and exceeded expectations by reaching the semi-finals of the tournament, defeating Club Sfaxien 1–0 and Al-Sadd 4–2 before losing to Al-Nassr from a penalty scored by Cristiano Ronaldo.[5]

Notes:
- ^ Al-Shorta were not granted an AFC license, therefore their AFC Champions League spot was passed to the league runners-up and Iraq FA Cup winners Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya.[13]
- ^ a b As Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya (league runners-up and Iraq FA Cup winners) entered the AFC Champions League, the two AFC Cup spots were passed down to Iraq's only other licensed clubs, Al-Zawraa and Al-Kahrabaa.[13]
