Venue

Stožice:

Stožice Arena, the new-age temple of Slovenian sport In August 2010, after two years of construction, Ljubljana welcomed a modern multi-purpose sports arena in Stožice. This remarkable hall, a true sporting beauty, opened its doors for the first time for a basketball match, followed by a spectacular boxing showdown in front of packed stands, and has since hosted numerous concerts by renowned musicians, European volleyball, futsal, and basketball championships, at which Goran Dragić shone in a Slovenian jersey in 2013. Accessible parking facilities, good public transport links and a capacity of 12,480 seats provide a good basis for the basketball spectacle we are preparing this August. Stožice Arena will be the first venue in Slovenia and one of the first worldwide to feature ASB GlassFloor, which will make its “debut” at the Night of the Dragon.
