Maysan Olympic Stadium ( Arabic: ملعب ميسان الأولمبي) is a multi-use stadium in Amarah, Iraq. The stadium holds 25,000 people and was opened in 1987.[ citation needed]
Renovation
Plans were made to renovate the stadium after 2003, but work began only in 2011. The project included rehabilitating the VIP area, the pitch, installing 25,000 seats, a new running track, a roof over the entire stadium and other facilities within the stadium compound.[ citation needed]
Renovation work soon stopped due to lack of money. Work restarted in 2016, and the stadium was officially re-opened on 22 July 2017, [3] although the roof has not yet been completed.[ citation needed]
Tenant
Naft Maysan play most of their home games at this stadium.[ citation needed]
