Al-Shorta Stadium (Arabic: ملعب الشرطة) was a multi-use stadium in Baghdad, Iraq. It was used mostly for football matches, serving as the home stadium of Al-Shorta SC, and was able to hold 8,634 people. The stadium was known as "The Cage" (Arabic: القفص) by Al-Shorta fans. The stadium was demolished in March 2014 to make way for the construction of the club's new all-seater stadium.
