(Airlines Sports Club) but remained known as Air Force in English
and even had the initals A.F. on their team jerseys at one point.
From 1931, the Air Force would assign a sports officer to supervise the
Air Force football team and sometimes a qualified coach would be appointed
at the same team, for example in 1957-58 when Air Force pilot Brigadier
Kadhim Abadi a former player and coach was the Air Force sports officer,
Scotsman Frank Hill managed and trained the football side. From the late
Sixties, the role of sports officer became more of an administrative position
like a team manager, rather than involving training the players on a daily
basis and Air Force began to assign football coaches to manage the football
side. The first coach of Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya in 1931 was one of the team's
players Manati Ali Nassir while Lt.Col. Hafidh Aziz was the sports officer.
