Al-Talaba controversy
The club was founded by the former national team star Younis Mahmoud, and some fans of the Al-Talaba club considered that the establishment of the Al-Jamiea Club represents a coup against the Al-Talaba Club to dismantle it and rob its financial resources, because the two clubs belong to the same sponsor, the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, and because the name of the “Al-Jamiea” is the name of the team that Al-Talaba club was previously known by, but the Minister of Higher Education confirmed that there is no contemplation of dismantling the Al-Talaba club and the financial grant will be paid to it, and Younis Mahmoud stressed that the Al-Jamiea club relies on self-support.
