Al-Kut Olympic Stadium (Arabic: ملعب الكوت الأولمبي) is a multi-purpose stadium in Al Kut, Iraq. It is currently used mostly for football matches and also has facilities for athletics. The stadium has an official capacity of 20,000.[2]
This stadium hosted the 2019 Iraqi Super Cup[3] on 14 September 2019 between Al-Zawraa SC and Al-Shorta SC. The latter won the competition for the first time in its history by winning on penalties (4-3) after the match ended 1-1. That match, the stadium's stands were sold out despite the fact that both teams hail from Baghdad (177 km from Al Kut).
