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]
