Today , the main stadium in the club (last building was in 1995 ) which holds up to 10,000 spectators was removed in order to start building a new stadium to be used as a second stadium in the Gulf Cup which the city of Basrah will hold.

Well, two stadiums belong to the sports city and this one is being build for Al-Minaa Club. The main stadium in the sports city can be used for the National team.

I think it's a conceptual thing. Most of European countries build stadiums (either public, private or mixed investments) looking at revenues. That's why we have so many football-specific venues. Most of 3rd world countries aren't there yet, they want quality multisport stadiums that are not meant to be money-making machines. Of course it's welcome to generate profits, but the priority is to serve many different sports/events, not minding that athletics aren't close to football in terms of popularity.
