Shalom Zisman Municipal Sports Arena
Ramat Gan, Israel
There is a large stadium in Ramat Gan that draws crowds of thousands, but the Shalom Zisman Municipal Sports Arena sits in the shadow of that giant. It is an indoor facility on HaTeisim Street. The hardwood parquet floor was renewed in 2013, giving the court a fresh look for the teams that call it home.
Maccabi Ironi Ramat Gan plays their basketball games here, operating in the Israeli Basketball Premier League. The capacity is listed as 1,500, though some accounts suggest 1,400.
The arena was inaugurated in 1993, though work had begun years earlier. It is owned by the municipality. In 2014, the Israel women's national basketball team hosted matches for the EuroBasket Women qualification. The attendance reached 1,000 for one such fixture against an opposing side. That crowd filled the room.
The name honors Shalom Zisman, a politician and president of the Israeli Olympic Committee who passed away in 1967. have left their mark on the parquet. Handball teams also use the space. There is no official website for the arena itself, just its place on the municipal registry.
