As we approach from the Kuwait border in an armed police convoy, the main 65,000-seater stadium at Basra Sports City, where work began in July 2009, dominates the landscape for miles around. Foundations for a secondary 10,000-seater stadium and the players’ accommodation have also been piled. Designed by US practice 360 Architects, the scheme is being built by Iraqi contractor Jiburi, while the British interest comes from intrepid QS and project management firm Baker Wilkins & Smith (BWS), which works as client’s representative for the Iraqi Ministry of Youth and Sport in a joint venture with architecture practice AMBS.

The main stadium is buzzing with around 2,000 workers. It has sucked in machinery from across the world: the contractor has bought eight Chinese tower cranes and a $4m, 1,200 tonne German crawler crane.

View from the stands would be average at best.

Like any other 65,000 track and field stadium, hard to get it a whole lot better when a 400m track is required.

i never thought that a construction of this kind happens so soon in iraq, i mean for the war and everything, good for iraq, also is a nice stadium but the facade is too much for me

Hmm, Poljud (Split) has a 400m track but even then the viewing (I think) would be better than here...

Beautiful stadium, and the small one is very nice too, simple but nice, good sport complex...

Amazing given the fact that it is southern iraq. At the same time, i can't help but think that the people designing it have made a mistake. You made 2 stadiums in close proximity of each other, and both of them have a running track. Make the big stadium football/rugby only and the smaller one make it an athletic stadium. Or vice versa, but one of them should not of had the running track.

well said Manowar ! 100% correct

That certainly seems true, its also much smaller than this one and I would say the ideal for having a track and still having good football sightlines would be the new Macedonian national stadium. Things like steeper stands do help, and a tighter layout around the track would to, but for IAAF standards one needs space for jump lanes, warm ups ect. I just don't think you ever get good football sightlines in an athletics stadium without a lot of movable seating (like the Stade France) and even then its not ideal.
