Sharar Haidar Stadium

Captain Sharar Haidar Stadium () is a multi-use stadium in Baghdad, Iraq. It is used mostly for football matches and serves as the home stadium of Al-Karkh SC. The stadium holds 5,150 people.

Etymology

Originally called Al-Mansour Local Administration Stadium, it was renamed Al-Rasheed Stadium when Al-Rasheed SC took over the ground in 1984. It became known as Al-Karkh Stadium after Al-Rasheed was dissolved and Al-Karkh replaced them in the top division in 1990.

In June 2020, following the death of former Iraqi and Al-Rasheed player Ahmed Radhi, the stadium was renamed Al-Saher Ahmed Radhi Stadium.

In January 2026, the stadium was renamed again to Captain Sharar Haidar Stadium. It is named after Al-Karkh's former president Sharar Haidar who died in 2023.
