Newroz participated in the Iraqi First Division League in the 2020–21 season, and two rounds before the end of the league, the team managed to maintain the top of the Group 1, and remained at the top of this group until the end of the league, where it qualified for the Iraqi Premier League for the first time, after collecting 30 points from 9 wins and 3 draw and one loss. In the final match, the team lost against Al-Sinaa 1–0 to take second place in the championship.
