Boråshallen, Indoor sports arena in Borås, Sweden.

Boråshallen is an indoor sports hall in the Göta district of south-western Borås, built in concrete and brick with a volume of 67,000 m³. It holds two full-size halls: A, measuring 22 by 42 m with a capacity of 2,500 spectators, and B, 16 by 37 m and used for training and school gymnastics. Two smaller halls, C and D, were originally intended for boxing, wrestling and weightlifting.

Boråshallen opened on 2 March 1957 after decades of debate over a "sport palace", a campaign led since the 1920s by Arthur Arta Anderson, chairman of the association for the promotion of sport in Borås. City architects Harald Ericson and Roland Gandvik designed the concrete and brick building, with a volume of 67,000 m³ and a cost of 5 million kronor.

The entrance floor holds Borås idrottsmuseum, run by Borås Idrottshistoriska sällskap, which recounts local sports history from 1880, when the first clubs were formed, to the present. The A hall has also served as a concert venue: The Beatles played here on 28 October 1963 and Lars Winnerbäck on 19 November 2009, each before 2,500 listeners.

The site is easy to locate and can host multiple sporting events happening at the same time across its different spaces. Visitors should check which event is scheduled on their day to know which hall to visit.

The Beatles performed here on October 28, 1963, drawing around 2500 people to witness their show. This performance remains an important part of the city's music history and is often overlooked when thinking of this place only as a basketball venue.
