The construction of the soccer stadium in Bandar
Abbas has not been completed after 13 years. The delay has been blamed on the
previous contractor which was recently replaced. But the project is also
suffering from lack of adequate funding which is threatening the delayed opening
scheduled for March 2010. (see related
