Pais Arena, multi-purpose sports indoor arena in Jerusalem

Pais Arena Jerusalem is a multi-purpose indoor arena in the Malha Sports Complex in southwestern Jerusalem, next to Teddy Stadium. It seats 11,000 for basketball and opened on 11 September 2014. Its detachable parquet floor can be swapped for a tennis court or an Olympic-size ice rink, and about 1,600 movable seats can be removed to widen the floor to 2,700 square metres for exhibitions or hockey.

A 1994 plan under mayor Ehud Olmert sited a 15,000-seat arena near Binyanei HaUma, but pressure over Sabbath events and traffic moved it to the Malha sports quarter. The cornerstone was laid in December 2005, construction began in September 2009, and the arena opened on 11 September 2014. Final cost exceeded 400 million NIS, mostly from Mifal HaPais.

The arena is named after Mifal HaPais, the national lottery that funded most of its construction. Its first league game, against Hapoel Tel Aviv, opened with a ceremony for Liel Gidoni, a Hapoel fan killed in Operation Protective Edge, and the club's youth team was renamed Hapoel "Liel" Jerusalem. During the 2017 Maccabiah a temporary Olympic ice rink was installed, and the Canada–United States final drew about 9,000 spectators.

The arena sits in the Malha Sports Complex in southwestern Jerusalem, next to Teddy Stadium. The light-rail stop Kiryat HaSport Malha, on the Green Line L3, links it to the city center, the central bus station and the Yitzhak Navon railway station. A planned underground car park for 1,700 cars between the arena and Teddy Stadium was not yet built at the time of the sources.

The arena's floor is detachable, not fixed: it can be swapped for a tennis surface or an Olympic-size ice rink. For the 2017 Maccabiah Games a portable rink was installed, and the Canada–United States final drew about 9,000 spectators, the most-watched ice hockey game played in Israel.
