Salah Al Din Stadium (Arabic: ملعب صلاح الدين) is a football specific stadium in Tikrit, Iraq, that is currently under construction.[3] Once completed, it will be used mostly for football matches and will host the home matches of Salahaddin FC as a replacement for their venue Tikrit Stadium. The stadium will have a capacity of 30,000 spectators and will cost approximately $90 million USD funded entirely by Iraqi government.

Design and facilities

The design of the facility combines modernity and simplicity. The main stadium has a capacity of 30,000 seats and is specifically assigned to the practice of football.[4] It does not contain an athletic track in order to provide a special visual experience for the spectators in the stadium, who are located as close to the field as possible. In parallel, the sports complex includes 2 training grounds (of 2000 and 500 seats respectively), which are equipped with running tracks.[5] A 75-room hotel is being built within the stadium's perimeter. The entire project is expected to cover an area of 15 hectares.[6]

Transportation and access

The stadium is situated on the outskirts of the city of Tikrit on the right side of the Mosul-Baghdad highway.
