Sportovní hala DHK ZORA Olomouc

The Sportovní hala DHK ZORA Olomouc is a venue for a club that has survived since 1919 as SK Olomouc. The building has served as the home for women’s handball, having won the Czechoslovak Women's Handball Championship in 1967. The hall itself is defined by its dimensions: a playing court of 40 by 20 meters sits within a larger internal space of 43 by 27 meters, capped by a ceiling height of 9 meters. This volume creates an environment where the green LOBADUR polyurethane surface is laid out with precision, designed for the specific demands of handball and judo tournaments like the 'Pohár Nadějí'.

Seating capacity is listed at roughly 600, a figure derived from a new grandstand providing 400 seats and an additional 50 adjacent to the benches. While some sources suggest a range between 450 and 600, the physical structure does not prioritise the viewing angle over sheer volume. The facility includes four newly built locker rooms with showers located under the grandstand, alongside a gym at the entrance. The hall hosts matches in the MOL Liga and Interliga, though the specific attendance records for these fixtures are not recorded.

The building’s history is tied to the club’s evolution; while the exact date of construction is unclear, its role has remained constant. The address, U stadionu 6/a, places it within the local sporting infrastructure, but the interior—equipped with two timekeepers and speaker systems—is where the action takes place.

There is no former name for the arena, and the architect remains unknown. The club’s official website confirms the current state of the building but offers no further context on its origins.
