Etymology
Originally called Al-Mansour Local Administration Stadium, it was renamed Al-Rasheed Stadium when Al-Rasheed SC took over the ground in 1984. It became known as Al-Karkh Stadium after Al-Rasheed was dissolved and Al-Karkh replaced them in the top division in 1990.[citation needed]
In June 2020, following the death of former Iraqi and Al-Rasheed player Ahmed Radhi, the stadium was renamed Al-Saher Ahmed Radhi Stadium.[2][3]
In January 2026, the stadium was renamed again to Captain Sharar Haidar Stadium. It is named after Al-Karkh's former president Sharar Haidar who died in 2023.[4]
