Etymology
The stadium was originally called al-Mansour Local Administration Stadium and was renamed al-Rasheed Stadium when Al-Rasheed SC took over the ground in 1984. It became known as al-Karkh Stadium after al-Karkh replaced the dissolved al-Rasheed in the top division in 1990.
In June 2020, following the death of former al-Rasheed player Ahmed Radhi, the stadium was renamed al-Saher Ahmed Radhi Stadium.[2][3]
