Ostravar Aréna, Ice rink and sports arena in Ostrava, Czech Republic.
Mustang Aréna, formerly Ostravar Aréna, is an octagonal indoor arena in Zábřeh, Ostrava, built from two truncated pyramids joined at their bases: the lower holds the seating, the upper forms the roof, with a band of windows between them. Four concrete towers clad in black slate carry the roof trusses, while the seating and roof are covered in white enamelled sheet metal.
The facility opened in 1986 as the Palace of Culture and Sport during the communist era. A major renovation in 2004 transformed it into the modern multipurpose venue it is today.
This venue serves as the home for HC Vítkovice, the local ice hockey team, and regularly hosts national competitions that draw local fans. The space has become a gathering point for sports enthusiasts in the city.
The venue offers ample parking and has wheelchair-accessible entrances with dedicated seating areas for visitors with mobility needs. Plan your visit around event schedules, as the facility hosts a variety of activities throughout the year.
The arena was the main venue for the 1994 and 2020 IIHF World Junior Championships and a secondary venue for the men's World Championships in 2004, 2015 and 2024, four editions in all. It also hosted the 2017 European Figure Skating Championships.
