Problems
Takhti stadium’s field is 1.5 meters (5 ft) below sea level and this means that when there is a heavy rain run-away water flows through the stadium. This meant that much of the stadium needed to be renovated.
Renovation
In
2005 it was closed down for one season, so that parts of the stadium could be renovated. A number of plastics seats were installed, and a new pitch was planted. The project was finished very late, despite the scale of the renovation plan being reduced.Trivia
*The stadium is 6km from the center of
Ahvaz .
