Bolandpayeh attended and competitively enabled to won the tender between many international EPC contractors. The project star ted on 2011 in Bagdad. The working included as well as the 12500 seats league stadium, design and execution of the gates leading to the stadium, a 7000 sq. meters of multipurpose sport hall, and a 3600 sq. meters of guest house. TTBP accepted responsibility of engineering and arranged a group of well experienced Iranian architects and engineers to follow the highest international standards like 2012 IBC code. Zawra main stadium has a total area of 26,000 sq. meters and is designed in 3 levels which includes administrational spaces. Zawra multi-purpose sport hall is designed in 3 levels. This sport hall consists of an entrance lobby, swimming pool, gym and recreational and administrational spaces. The exterior continuous Façade has been designed in modernist way which covers all buildings in the complex and forms a unique shape.

Currently, the design process was totally completed and construction process is underway. The project physical progress is almost 40%. Due tp lack of safety and security problems and according to time schedule update results, the final estimated deadline for the project completion and operation date is by late 2018.
