Venue: Gliwice Arena
Town: Gliwice, PL

Gliwice Arena, known for sponsorship reasons as PreZero Arena Gliwice, is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Gliwice, Poland. The main arena has 13,752 seats in its four stands and provides room for up to 17,178 spectators, standing spaces included, making it one of the largest indoor arenas in the country. The venue was originally given the name Podium Hall (Hala Podium), which was later changed to Gliwice Hall (Hala Gliwice). Since opening in May 2018, the latter name has been used interchangeably with the name Gliwice Arena, which is used for international events. In July 2023, it was announced that the venue would be renamed PreZero Arena Gliwice as part of a sponsorship deal with PreZero. The construction of the arena began in 2013 following the demolition of the 20th Anniversary of the Polish People's Republic Stadium. Initially, the city had been anticipating financial support from the European Union, but when such funding was refused, it was decided that the construction would instead be financed solely from the city's budget. The construction was originally planned to be completed in mid-2015 and cost 321 million złoty. According to the report on the implementation of the Gliwice city budget for 2017, the total outlays for the implementation of the investment in 2017 and 2018 amounted to 420.4 million złoty (approx. €98 million), 31% higher than the originally anticipated amount. The main contractor was Mirbud S.A. Gliwice Arena has a two-level car park, the upper level of which can be adapted to organise events and outdoor exhibitions. The car park has 800 spaces. The facility is adapted to the needs of people with disabilities. There are 72 places available for them (36 places for wheelchair users and 36 for accompanying persons), located in all sectors and locations that guarantee good visibility. A training hall and a fitness building, which are also part of the arena complex, are located adjacent to the main arena. The highest climbing wall in Europe and
