Project: Al Menaa Stadium
Date: 2011 - ongoing
Project size: 35,000 spectators
Client: Ministry of Youth and Sports
Services Provided: Design Review, Project Management, Quality Control and Resident Engineering
The Stadium is part of the Ministry of Youth and Sport strategy for promoting sports and developing amenities in the region. The Sports Stadium takes itsâ design references from the areaâs rich nautical history, making allusions to water and shipping. Waving sails cascade down the exterior form, while structural beams reflect the rigging of a ship. The complex will include the 35,000 spectator capacity main arena and two training fields with a 500 and 2000 person capacity. The vision is to increase support, accessibility and involvement in sporting activities. There are plans to connect the stadium to its surrounding landscape with a network of pedestrian-friendly parks. The development aims to engender national pride by establishing a presence for sporting achievement in Iraq, regionally and internationally.
