Al-Fallujah Stadium (Arabic: ملعب الفلوجة, Malʿabu al-Fallūjah) is a multi-purpose stadium in Al-Fallujah, Iraq. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of Al-Jolan SC. Opened in February 2022, it has a capacity of 7,000 spectators.

History

Construction started in 2012 and stopped in December 2013 at 93% completion.[3] The stadium turned then into a shelter for Syrian refugee families who fled to Al-Anbar.[4] The stadium suffered various damages such as the scorching of its turf, the breaking of its seats and the deterioration of several of its compartments.[5]

After the relocation of the refugees, the government of Al-Anbar announced in 2021 the restoration of the stadium.[6]

The inauguration of the stadium took place on 21 February 2022 during a football match between Al-Jolan SC and Dujail SC.[7]
