Sport Arena Vienna Almost Complete: Opening Planned for July
The Sports Arena Vienna is nearing completion. On April 10, Mayor Michael Ludwig and Sports City Councillor Peter Hacker visited the multifunctional facility in Vienna-Leopoldstadt. As part of a sporty pre-premiere, first impressions were offered during a handball game and a judo demonstration – with the participation of youth and junior national players.
The official opening of the three-part hall is scheduled for July. Already, the Sports Arena Vienna is positioned as one of the most ambitious projects in the field of sustainable sports facilities. The energy-efficient facility will host training and competitions in sports such as handball, volleyball, judo, and gymnastics in the future.
Ludwig and Hacker visit Sports Arena Vienna
In a symbolic act, Ludwig and Hacker personally screwed in the first grandstand seats in the ball sports hall on Thursday, which will accommodate up to 3,000 spectators during events. "This sports hall is an important milestone for Viennese sports. A modern, sustainable, and future-oriented sports location is being created here, which will benefit all Viennese," emphasized Mayor Ludwig during the visit.
Sports City Councillor Hacker highlighted the infrastructural advantages of the new facility: "The three halls offer much more space and completely different possibilities than the old Dusika Stadium. The Sports Arena will be a meeting place for athletes of all ages."
Sports Arena Vienna as a European showcase project
The Sports Arena Vienna is already considered one of the most modern sports facilities in Europe before its opening. Three independently usable halls allow for flexible use both for daily training operations and for national and international competitions. The modular grandstand structure allows for rapid adaptation to different event formats.
In addition to the sports already established in the former Ferry-Dusika Stadium, such as gymnastics and athletics, the offerings in the new arena are significantly expanded. After completion, handball, volleyball, football, basketball, badminton, floorball, hockey, table tennis, yoga, dancing, and athletics will also be on the program. The multifunctional rooms can be used as press rooms during events, and at other times they are primarily available for martial artists and other training purposes.
