Iraq to resume building 30,000-seat stadium in Nasiriyah

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Iraq intends to build a resume building a sports stadium at Nasiriyah, which is located in the lower Euphrates river of Iraq, around 360 kilometers south of Baghdad.

The Nasiriyah Olympic Stadium project was granted in 2014 but has been postponed multiple times. The Iraqi government has formally accepted a contract to resume work.

Urcu Group, a Turkish corporation, will develop the sports stadium in Iraq for roughly $40 million under an agreement reached with Baghdad. Urcu Group will construct a 30,000-seat stadium in Nasiriyah’s southern district, with the project slated to be finished in two years.

The Youth and Sport Ministry granted the project, which includes a 75-room hotel, training fields, and other amenities. This initiative marks the commencement of the Turkish company’s new investments in Iraq.
