Event Sneak Peek at the Sports Complex
The city of Vienna has completed the construction of the new Sports Arena Vienna, a modern sports facility that promises to revolutionise the sports landscape in the city. The new arena, built to replace the demolished Ferry-Dusika-Hallenstadion, is set to open its doors to the public in September 2025.
The new sports arena will cater to a wide variety of sports, with approximately 3,000 spectators finding a comfortable space to cheer on their favourite teams. Among the sports that will be accommodated are handball, volleyball, football, basketball, badminton, floorball, hockey, table tennis, yoga, and dancing. Athletics will also have ample space, with about 6,500 square meters available for training or competitions.
Sports Councillor Hacker has emphasised the arena's state-of-the-art infrastructure, designed to cater to both recreational and high-performance sports. Smaller rooms will also be available for combat sports training purposes.
Mayor Ludwig has hailed the new Sports Arena Vienna as an important milestone for Viennese sports. The facility is significantly different from the former Dusika Stadium in various aspects, with over 13,000 square meters of sports facilities available in the future.
However, the new sports hall will not include a cycling track, a feature that was available in the previous stadium and was the only one of its kind in Austria available in a hall. This decision has been met with criticism from the Austrian Cycling Federation.
Despite this, the new Sports Arena Vienna is poised to become a hub for sports activities in Vienna, offering a modern and versatile space for athletes and spectators alike.
