Al Karkh Stadium

Al Karkh Stadium, Football stadium in Karkh district, Baghdad, Iraq.

Al-Karkh Stadium is a sports facility in Baghdad's Karkh district with a grass playing surface and concrete stands. The venue can accommodate around 5,150 spectators for football matches and other sporting events.

The ground was first called Al-Mansour Local Administration Stadium, becoming Al-Rasheed Stadium when Al-Rasheed SC took it over in 1984. After Al-Rasheed was dissolved and Al-Karkh replaced them in the top division in 1990, it was known as Al-Karkh Stadium. It was renamed Al-Saher Ahmed Radhi Stadium in June 2020 after the death of the former Iraqi international, then Captain Sharar Haidar Stadium in January 2026, honouring Al-Karkh's former president who died in 2023.

The facility serves as the home ground for Al-Karkh SC, where local supporters gather regularly to watch their team play. The team's matches are important events in the neighborhood's social calendar.

The stadium sits in Baghdad's Karkh district at coordinates 33.31664, 44.36501, and holds 5,150 spectators, so match-day crowds are modest compared with the city's larger grounds. Al-Karkh SC plays its home fixtures here; check the club's fixture list before visiting, as the ground is otherwise given over to football training and other sports.

The stadium was renamed Captain Sharar Haidar Stadium in January 2026, after Al-Karkh's former president Sharar Haidar, who died in 2023. Before that it had been called Al-Saher Ahmed Radhi Stadium since June 2020, following the death of the former Iraq and Al-Rasheed player.
