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.[5] 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.[3][6] In July 2022, the Syrian national basketball team played two matches in the arena against Bahrain and Iran as part of the 2023 FIBA World Cup qualification.[7][8] A record 13,500 spectators came to the game against Bahrain, which was the highest qualifying attendance in the world in that period.[1]
