Coliseo General Rumiñahui, indoor sporting arena located in Quito, Ecuador

Coliseo General Rumiñahui is an indoor arena in Quito, Ecuador, with a capacity of 16,000. It is the largest covered venue in the city and is used for basketball, volleyball, concerts and other events. It is located between Diego Ladrón de Guevara and José María Velasco Ibarra avenues.

The Coliseo General Rumiñahui was inaugurated on 9 July 1992, named after the Kitu and Inca warrior Rumiñahui, a Quechua name meaning 'stone eye'. It belongs to the Concentración Deportiva de Pichincha, which also runs the Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa and the Coliseo Julio César Hidalgo. In 1994 a boxing card headlined by Segundo Mercado against Bernard Hopkins drew 16,000 spectators.

The arena is named after Rumiñahui, the Kitu and Inca general who resisted the Spanish conquest; the Quechua word means "Eye of Stone" in Spanish. It was inaugurated on 9 July 1992 under that name. Today it is Quito's largest indoor venue, used for basketball, volleyball, concerts and shows.

The venue is located along Avenida Diego Ladrón de Guevara and is easily walkable from the El Ejido metro station. Before visiting, check the event schedule to confirm operating times and available activities, as the facility only opens for scheduled events.

On 17 December 1994 the arena drew 16,000 spectators for a boxing bout between Segundo Mercado and Bernard Hopkins. It later hosted the Copa Mitad del Mundo, with Roger Federer facing Alexander Zverev on 24 November 2019, and the Copa Bicentenario, where Rafael Nadal played Casper Ruud on 27 November 2022.
