Laugardalshöll, Indoor sports arena in Reykjavík, Iceland
The multi-purpose facility includes two primary venues with a main hall accommodating 2300 spectators for basketball and handball events.
The construction of Laugardalshöll began in 1959 and encountered multiple delays due to funding limitations before its completion in 1965.
The arena gained international recognition during the 1972 World Chess Championship match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky.
The facility operates under the Sports and Exhibition Center management and provides space for national basketball and handball team competitions.
Led Zeppelin performed at Laugardalshöll in 1970, establishing the venue as a principal concert location in Iceland for international performers.
