Movistar Arena Bogotá, Indoor sports arena in Bogotá, Colombia.
Movistar Arena is a modern indoor hall in Bogotá with multiple floors and contemporary facilities designed for different types of events. The building accommodates up to 14,000 spectators for sports competitions, concerts, and performances.
The estate was donated to Bogotá by Leonilde Matiz de Camacho and Luis Camacho Matiz on 9 December 1937. The Coliseo Cubierto El Campín, designed in the 1970s by structural engineer Guillermo González Zuleta, was built in 1973. After 16 years leased to the private sector, it returned to the city in 2011, and the IDRD announced a full renewal on 14 January 2015. Works began in 2018, reusing the old stands and structures; Telefónica's Movistar took the naming rights in March 2018 for 20 years.
The arena serves as a central gathering space for Bogotá's entertainment scene, drawing crowds for concerts and sporting events that bring people together from across the city. Visitors experience performances by both local and international artists alongside national sports competitions.
The arena stands at the junction of Avenida NQS and Avenida José Celestino Mutis, beside Estadio El Campín. The nearest public transport is the Movistar Arena station on the TransMilenio bus rapid transit system, not a metro. The main entrance faces the curved grey-panelled facade, where the event billboard hangs to the left.
The arena reuses the stands and other structures designed in the 1970s by structural engineer Guillermo González Zuleta for the old Coliseo El Campín, so part of the present building dates from that earlier project. On 11 October 2023 the façade projected the flag of Israel; the arena's private administrator, Colombiana de Escenarios, stated the city government had no role in it.
