Pavillon des Sports / Salle du Pommier

The Salle du Pommier sits at the quiet end of Chemin du Pommier in Le Grand-Saconnex, a municipality that has grown around the older heart of Geneva. It is not a cathedral of sport, but a functional hall that has served the Lions de Genève since it was completed in 2005. The team, formed from the merger of two local clubs, has called this place home for more than a decade, winning the Swiss championship in 2013 before expanding their reach into the FIBA Europe Cup.

The capacity is a matter of configuration. While records sit at 2,800, the number likely shifts depending on how the hall is arranged for basketball or other events. The surface inside is standard hard court, polished for the fast transitions that define modern indoor play. Visitors to the area might pass the building without realising what happens within its walls, as the exterior offers little hint of the competitions held under its roof. The Lions de Genève have played their share of decisive matches here, including the 2017 LNA Finals, but these moments have passed without leaving a permanent mark on the town's landscape. The venue remains a place of work for the players, rather than a destination for tourists.
