[edit]

2017 – 2020

[edit]

In 2017, Hassan returned to Baghdad, this time joining Al-Zawra'a.[7] He made his debut in the 2017 Iraqi Super Cup, leading Al-Zawraa to a victory over rivals Al Quwa Al Jawiya by saving two penalties in the shootout.[8] He suffered a minor injury during the Gulf Cup with Iraq that kept him out for two weeks.[9] Hassan reclaimed his starting spot after his return from injury, and led the team to win a record-extending 14th league title. Their domestic triumph meant that the team qualified to the 2018 AFC Cup

In the 2018-19 season Al-Zawra'a failed to retain their title, as they finished third in the table,[10] they also failed to get out of the group in the AFC Cup, finishing 2nd with ten points in group B. Al-Zawra'a had a silver lining in the last match of the season, beating X to win the Iraqi FA Cup. Their win meant that the club would qualify to the 2019–20 Arab Club Champions Cup as well as the preliminary round of the Asian Champions League.

Hassan remained with the side for the 2019-2020 season, the team started the season on the wrong foot, after being eliminated from the preliminary round of the Arab Club Champions Cup. In the September of the 2019 season, Hassan suffered an Injury during a national team training camp ahead of the world cup qualifying match against Bahrain.[11] He was out of action for 6 weeks, and returned to training in October.[12] The season was interrupted in late September and suspended indefinitely in October due to the 2019 Iraq protests. In January of 2020, Jalal started for Al-Zawra'a as they were eliminated from the Asian Champions League Playoff round in a 4-1 defeat to FC Bunyodkorof Uzbekistan.[13] The league resumed in March 2020, only to be cancelled and annulled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

2020–Present

[edit]

Due to the cancellation of the previous season's results,Al Zawra'a entered the Asian champions league at the same stage as last season, once again failing to qualify to the group stage following a 2-1 defeat with UAE side Al Wahda FC where Hassan played all 90 minutes. Al-Zawra'a came close to the 2020-2021 league title, but finished second behind local rivals Al Quwa Al Jawiya, falling short by 8 points.[15] His team also reached the final of the FA Cup to face the same opponent, but he missed the match due to injury,[16] Al-Zawra'a ended up losing the match on penalties. However due to being runner up in both tournaments, they received a place in the Champions league playoff for the third season running. Jalal's performances in the season led him to being voted as the best goalkeeper in Iraq [17]

In 2021-2022, Al-Zawra'a had one of their worst years in recent memory. The season started out strong for Al-Zawra'a, who won the 2021 Iraqi Super Cup, however Jalal was still recovering from injury and did was not part of the squad. The club finished 6th in the domestic league, and were knocked out in the semi final of the Iraqi FA Cup under the management of Essam Hamad who was sacked in December. Haidar Abdul-Amir was the cartaker manager but after 1 win in 5 games he too was replaced, this time with Ayoub Odisho. Due to the re-shuffling of the Asian Calendar, Al-Zawra'a did not play Asian competitions until march of 2022.The club failed to qualify to the Champions league proper, after losing to UAE side Al Sharjah SC on penalties in the playoff round, where Jalal was sent off in the match[18] He won the SoccerIraq player of the year award at the end of the 2022 calendar year, mainly due to his performances with the national team.

Ahead of the 2022-2023 season., Hassan renewed his contract with Al-Zawra'a to remain for another season, and was reportedly earning the equivalent of 150,000 USD per season.[19] The club had an improvement the following season, finishing 3rd in the league with 68 points,[20] however the club once again failed to win the FA Cup, losing to Al Jawiya on penalties in the quarter final. Despite the club's disappointing domestic campaign, Al-Zawra'a were awarded a spot in the 2023-24 AFC Cup, due to the teams that finished above them not earning the AFC license to participate.[21] Jalal won the soccer star goalkeeper of the year for the second time due to his performances in the season [22] He also won the award for best goalkeeper in the Gulf region for his performances that season, as voted on by Sky news Arabia [23]

In September 2023, Hassan extended his contract to remain for a 7th season with the club.[24] Hassan's suspension from his last continental club match carried over across tournaments and he missed the opening match against Al-Arabi of Kuwait.[25] The team had a disappointing tournament, exiting from the group stage after finishing runners up in group B to eventual champions Al Ahed FC. He suffered an ankle injury in April[26] which kept him out of the side for two months before returning ahead of the match against Al-Heddod.[27] AL-Zawra'a once again lost against Al Jawiya in the FA Cup, this time in the Semi Final, and finished 3rd in the league in a repeat of their result from last season.[28]
