Iraqi Volleyball in Baghdad at the level of sports clubs (men) and its pioneers for the period from (1991 to 2011)

Abstract

The research focused on studying the history of the game of volleyball in Baghdad Governorate, its most important sports clubs and their results for the period from (1991 to (2011)) and who are the pioneers of the game, as the researchers recorded and documented the local championships for sports teams organized by the Central Iraqi Volleyball Federation and the most important results obtained by those teams. These teams had a long, long history of producing a group of champion athletes who became famous in the game of volleyball. As far as the Baghdad clubs are concerned, the researchers intended to shed light on the history of this game in the Baghdad clubs, especially because these clubs have a long history in the game and graduated players who had a major role in raising the country’s name in internal competitions and external participation. There are several questions: Is there accurate documentation of these participations and the most important results obtained by these sports teams. Is there documentation and recording of the names of the pioneers who represented the national teams during that period? The research aims to know what results the sports clubs in the league achieved throughout that period. The most important results reached by the researchers are that there are many advanced positions obtained by sports clubs in the Iraqi Volleyball League that were not recorded, and there were also many pioneers who represented those clubs whose names were not recorded in the Central Iraqi Federation for the game.
