Ammo Baba Stadium


Ammo Baba Stadium, previously known as Al Rusafa Stadium, is a football stadium that is currently under construction in Baghdad, Iraq. It will have a capacity of 31,200 spectators and will cost approximately 100 million USD funded entirely by the Iraqi government. By 2022, the stadium was at 62% completion.
In early 2017, the stadium was renamed after Ammo Baba, a famous Iraqi player and manager of the 20th century.
