Miskolc University Sports Arena

During the week, the arena is mostly used for PE lessons, recreational sports, as well as practices held by the MEAFC Sports Club. The arena has been hosting several big scale and national sporting events, as well as concerts, exhibitions, and fairs. Over the past couple of years, the arena (also nicknamed as UFO) has undergone reconstruction; including improving safety, plumbing, a new roof. Then in 2010, the entire competition floor got a facelift. The most important aspect of the renovation was replacing the floors with the highest quality material made by the Gerflor company (Taraflex flooring, Haro underlay). At the same time, the sports complex has received a new protective cover making it ideal for non-sporting events as well. The U18 Women's Basketball Championship was held here in August 2011. In association with this event, a new scoreboard was installed which is internationally certified for numerous other sporting events. Thanks to the capital investments, we can say that the arena has not only caught up with the national average, but has far exceeded the competition.

The arena is multifunctional with its 1,140 sq m competition floor; suitable for sports like basketball, soccer, handball, volleyball, badminton, tennis, table tennis, etc. Thanks to the side-mounted blackboars, the court can be divided into three smaller basketball courts in addition to the standard size. There is also a 380 sq m gym room which can be used for aeobics classes, martial arts, or smaller table tennis competitions. The gym can be rented separately.

The arena also has 6 locker rooms with showers (4 men’s and 2 women’s). The grandstand has a maximum capacity of 550 people. Behind the grandstand, there is a conference room suitable for meetings or even chess competition.
