Al Basrah

 (Arabic: "البصرة"; al-Baṣrah), also known as Basra, is one of the maps available in Squad. The map consists of a city in the Republic of Iraq along the Shatt al-Arab River with the Qamat Ali Canal splitting off from it leading to a nearby village. The map was released in Alpha v9.2.

In May 2017, the developers announced a number of changes to Al Basrah. The defending and attacking Main Spawns had been relocated, as well as southern expansion of the city. The attacking army's main spawn has been relocated slightly north of its current position to extend travel time as well. With these newly expanded areas, new flag layouts will follow, along with the highly anticipated Insurgency game mode. This expansion was released in Alpha v9.6.
