Hall Aleksandar Nikolić, formerly Pionir Hall, is a sports arena in the Palilula district of Belgrade, Serbia. It has a seating capacity of 8,000 and hosts basketball games, concerts, and other events.
Opened in 1973 as Pionir Hall, it was designed by Ljiljana and Dragoljub Bakić and won a Belgrade architecture award. In 2016, it was renamed to honor Aleksandar Nikolić.
The name honors Aleksandar Nikolić, a celebrated basketball player and coach. On game nights, the hall fills with fans of Crvena zvezda and Partizan, creating a spirited atmosphere.
The hall sits within the Pionir sports complex, near Tašmajdan Park, and is easy to reach by public transport. Visitors should check the event schedule in advance, as access may be restricted on match days.
The hall's design uses repeated elements and natural light, which was noted at the time of construction. In 2023, it became the home venue for Maccabi Tel Aviv's international games.
