Ankara Arena, Sports venue in Ankara, Turkey

Ankara Arena, also known as Ankara Spor Salonu, is an indoor sporting arena in the Ulus district of Ankara, Turkey. It has a seating capacity of 10,400 spectators and was built for the 2010 FIBA World Championship.

The arena opened in April 2010 after eight months of construction, built specifically for the 2010 FIBA World Championship. It replaced the nearby Ankara Atatürk Sport Hall as the home of several Turkish Basketball League clubs.

The name 'Ankara Spor Salonu' simply means 'Ankara Sports Hall' in Turkish, reflecting its role as a multi-purpose venue. It hosts not only basketball but also volleyball, tennis, ice hockey, and boxing events, as well as concerts and political congresses.

The arena is easy to reach by bus, metro, or dolmuş from anywhere in Ankara. It has a large parking lot with spaces for 925 vehicles, including 545 covered spots, and special parking and facilities for disabled visitors.

The construction used 34,000 cubic meters of concrete and 4,000 tons of iron, with 370 workers toiling in two shifts over 18 hours a day. The arena also hosted the 2021 FIVB Women's World Club Championship, with all matches played there.
