The 1977–78 season was Al-Minaa's 4th season in the Iraqi National League, having featured in all editions of the competition. Al-Minaa participated in the Iraqi National League and the Iraq FA Cup, winning the league for the first time in their history, after finishing two points ahead of second-place Al-Zawraa.[1] The season saw the dismissal of first-team coach Faleh Hassan Wasfi after scoring a draw in the first two games of the season and being eliminated from the Iraqi FA Cup in the round of 16 before that,[2] and then the appointment of coach Jamil Hanoon. Striker Jalil Hanoon scored 11 goals to end the league season as the league's top goal-scorer total.[3]
