It is designated to host basketball, handball and volleyball matches.[1] Al-Hamadaniah Sports Arena is part of the al-Hamadaniah Sports City.

The arena is served by 4 additional indoor sports training halls. The playground of the arena has a length of 60 metres and a width of 25 metres.

History[]

The construction process was launched in 2004 and scheduled to be completed in 2007.[2] However, it was delayed for many years due to the corruption among the members of the Aleppo branch of the Syrian General Sports Federation.[3] It was finally completed in 2020.

The arena was opened on 17 December 2021 by the basketball match of the home club Al-Ittihad SC Aleppo against Al-Jaish SC Damascus.[4][5]
