History
Construction was launched in 2013 under the leadership of Iraqi Al Karama Company, which is affiliated to the Ministry of Industry and Minerals. Five years later, due to slowdowns and delays in project delivery, it was agreed to assign the contract to the Italian-Swedish company Sport System to finalise construction in 8 months. This allowed the work to be fully completed and the project to be inaugurated in 2018.[6]
