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]}
