History
The old stadium held 15,000 people and was built in 1978. In January 2012, the old stadium was demolished, in which a new stadium with the same name was broken ground. The new stadium which would be completed in 2021, has a capacity of 14,500, a hotel and an Olympic pool.[1] Al Zawraa played their games at Al Shaab Stadium, during the construction of their new stadium.
