Basra International Stadium is a sport complex in southern Iraq commissioned by the Iraqi government. Construction works started in 2009 and finished in 2013. The sport complex contains a main stadium with a capacity of 65.000 people, a second stadium for 10.000 people, four Five Star Hotels and other sport facilities.

The main stadium is also called Palm Trunk Stadium because the outside facade is inspired by the pattern of a palm tree trunk. Palm trees are symbolic for the city of Basra which is known for the cultivation of palm trees.
