Al-Fayhaa Stadium (Arabic: ملعب الفيحاء), also known as Mohamed Musbah Al‑Waeli Stadium, is a multi-purpose stadium in Basra, Southern Iraq. The stadium is part of the much larger Basra Sports City complex, and is surrounded by many football training pitches, four Five Star hotels and other sports-related facilities. [5] It is currently used mostly for football matches and also has facilities for athletics. The stadium has an official capacity of 10,000 spectators. It is owned by the Government of Iraq.
It hosts Naft Al-Basra and Al-Minaa[6] football matches in the Iraqi League when attendance is low. For crucial confrontations, it is the main stadium of Basra (65,000) that welcomes the games.
The stadium obtained the IAAF Class 1 Certificate, which signifies that the stadium satisfies the highest norms and qualities in its field.
NameEdit
Initially, the stadium had no specific name other than Basra Sports City Secondary Stadium. Later, it was agreed to rename it Al-Fayhaa Stadium in reference to the nickname of the city Al Basra. This name is still used officially and is the most common one.
In 2019, the Ministry of Youth and Sports introduced a new appellation Mohamed Musbah Al-Waeli Stadium[7][8] as a tribute to the ex-mayor of Al Basra who was a main figure in the elaboration of the Basra Sports City complex. However, this designation is still not very popular and not much used in sports circles.
