Al-Shorta Stadium (Arabic: ملعب الشرطة) is a football stadium in Baghdad, Iraq. It is the home stadium of Iraq Stars League club Al-Shorta. It opened in 2025 on the site of the original Al-Shorta Stadium, which had stood from 1990 until 2014. It has a seating capacity of 10,089.
The construction of the stadium was initiated as the centrepiece of the Al-Shorta Sports City project, which was also planned to include a training ground, a hotel, a club office, a swimming pool, a multi-purpose closed hall, a recreation club, restaurants, theatres and a shopping centre. The project was announced in 2013 and construction began in 2014, but it was suspended in 2015 due to instability in the country and disputes over payments. The project resumed in late 2022 but was scaled down to only include the all-seater stadium and training ground.
The stadium is located at the club's headquarters on Falastin Street, adjacent to the Ministry of Water Resources building in Al-Rusafa.
