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.
Abdul-Qadir Zeinal, club president at the time, oversaw the construction of the stadium in the late 1980s with club workers and volunteers and it was opened for its first match on 23 December 1990 where Al-Shorta beat Al-Tijara 3–2.[1]
The stadium began to be demolished on 4 March 2014 to make way for the construction of Al-Shorta Sports City, a sports complex for the club including a new all-seater stadium.[2]
