Gliwice Arena, known for sponsorship reasons as PreZero Arena Gliwice, is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Gliwice, Poland. The main arena has 13,752 seats in its four stands and provides room for up to 17,178 spectators (including standing spaces), making it one of the largest indoor arenas in the country.[1]
Name
The venue was originally given the name Podium Hall (Hala Podium), which was later changed to Gliwice Hall (Hala Gliwice). Since opening in May 2018, the latter name has been used interchangeably with the name Gliwice Arena, which is used for international events.[2] In July 2023, it was announced that the venue would be renamed PreZero Arena Gliwice as part of a sponsorship deal with PreZero.[3]
Construction and facilities
The construction of the arena began in 2013 following the demolition of the 20th Anniversary of the Polish People's Republic Stadium. The city initially expected to receive funding from the European Union, but after this was ruled out, the construction was financed entirely from the city budget.[4] It was originally planned to be completed in mid-2015 and cost 321 million złoty.[5] According to the report on the implementation of the Gliwice city budget for 2017, the total outlays for the implementation of the investment in 2017 and 2018 amounted to 420.4 million złoty (approx. €98 million),[6] 31% higher than the originally anticipated amount. The main contractor was Mirbud S.A.[7]
Gliwice Arena has a two-level car park with 800 spaces, the upper level of which can be adapted to organise events and outdoor exhibitions. The facility is adapted to the needs of people with disabilities; there are 72 places available for them (36 places for wheelchair users and 36 for accompanying persons), located in all sectors and locations that guarantee good visibility.[1] A training hall and a fitness building, which are also part of the arena complex, are located adjacent to the main arena. The highest climbing wall in Europe and a stage suspension system were also installed in the building.[8]
Events
Before the arena's official opening, a women's run organised as part of the Bieg Kobiet Zawsze Pier(w)si initiative was held there on 6 May 2018 to raise awareness of breast cancer.[9]
The opening took place on 12 and 13 May 2018.[10] The first major event in the venue was an Armin van Buuren concert on 30 May 2018.[11]
The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2019 was held in the arena on 24 November 2019.[12] It has since also hosted the 2022 FIVB Men's Volleyball World Championship and the 2022 FIVB Women's Volleyball World Championship knockout phase.
