Sport Sarajevo
Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Formerly: Sportska Dvorana Skenderija
Sport Sarajevo is an indoor arena rather than an outdoor ground, located within the Kulturno-sportski centar Skenderija complex in the Centar municipality of Sarajevo. It sits at Put života 12, a site that has hosted international sport since the 1970s. The hall, known as the Mirza Delibašić Hall, opened in 1969 and became a fixture of European basketball after KK Bosna Royal claimed the European Champions Cup in 1979.
The venue’s history is tied to basketball, though it also hosted the 1973 World Table Tennis Championships. During the 1984 Winter Olympics, the hall hosted basketball preliminaries, a role that cemented its place in the city's sporting memory. The 1970 European Champions Cup Final took place here, where Ignis Varese defeated KK Bosna 79-74. The capacity is listed at 5,616, a figure that has remained consistent through renovations in 2006 and 2018. The playing surface is a hard court suitable for basketball and handball, distinct from the outdoor tracks seen in other city venues.
The arena is not a standalone stadium but part of a larger cultural and sports centre, which includes an ice rink for hockey and figure skating. The venue does not have a distinct former name other than Sportska Dvorana Skenderija. The official website, skenderija.ba, provides details on events and schedules. The arena is a functional space, designed for multiple sports, and has hosted various international competitions over the decades. It remains a central point for sport in Sarajevo, reflecting the city's diverse athletic heritage.
