Dom Sportova
Dom sportova, is a multi-purpose indoor sports arena located in Zagreb, Croatia. The venue was built in 1972 in the Trešnjevka neighborhood, in the western part of the city. It has 32,000 m2 of floorspace, and it features six halls. The seating capacity of the biggest two halls is 5,000 and 3,100. It is used for basketball, handball, volleyball, ice hockey, gymnastics, tennis, as well as concerts.
It is the venue for the PBZ Zagreb Indoors men's tennis tournament. It also hosted the final tournament of the 1989 European Basketball Championship, in which the home team of Yugoslavia won the gold medal, the 2000 European Men's Handball Championship, the 2003 World Women's Handball Championship, the 2005 Women's European Volleyball Championship as well as the 2008 and 2013 European Figure Skating Championships.
Dom Sportova was Zagreb's biggest indoor entertainment-complex before Arena Zagreb was built in 2008.
History
Construction began in 1964 according to a design by Vladimir Turina. Youth volunteer labor actions involving young people from Zagreb were also used in the construction. Despite this, progress did not proceed at the desired pace, and completion became an urgent issue. Although it was not finished, the complex was officially opened on 17 June 1972 with a friendly basketball match between Europe and the United States. The European team, led by Krešimir Ćosić, also featured Nikola Plećaš, while they faced a young American team composed of university players. In front of approximately 8,000 spectators, the Europeans won 102–75. Construction continued after the match. The small hall was not opened until 1974.There was discussion about naming the hall after an individual, with proposed names ranging from Rade Končar to Franjo Bučar. However, no agreement was reached among the proponents, and the name Dom sportova remained.
Dom sportova has hosted numerous sporting events, including European Championships in figure skating, basketball, volleyball, and handball. Historic matches were played there by Cibona basketball players, RK Zagreb handball players, and Medveščak ice hockey players. The venue has also hosted numerous concerts by domestic performers as well as world-famous musicians and bands.
Reconstruction
Dom sportova, which was built in 1972 and has not undergone systematic renovation since then, required a major renovations. A comprehensive renovation has been awaited for more than ten years, and the 2020 earthquakes further worsened the condition of the structure, making reconstruction even more urgent. According to the City’s plan, the renovation is being carried out in three phases. The first phase, which began in 2024, includes the main hall and Halls 3 and 4, and its completion is expected in the first half of this year. This will be followed by the renovation of Hall 2, while the third phase includes energy renovation and outfitting. Under the original schedule, the second phase is expected to be completed in 2027 and the third in 2028.The new procurement will include works for the second and third phases, and the construction of a new building envelope is also planned. In this way, in addition to structural and energy renovation, the Sports Hall is expected to gain a completely new exterior appearance and a modernized visual identity, with the aim of further enhancing the building’s functionality and energy efficiency.
In January 2026, City of Zagreb announced temporary suspension of the project due to irregularities in the public procurement procedure.
