Arena Sofia (Bulgarian: Арена София, [ɐˈrɛnə ˈsɔfijə]), currently known as Arena 8888 Sofia for sponsorship reasons, is a multi-purpose indoor arena located in Sofia, Bulgaria. Opened in July 2011, it has a general seating capacity of 12,373.
Designed as a universal hall for cultural events and sports, the arena could host up to 30 types of sports, including basketball, volleyball, handball, futsal, boxing, tennis, weightlifting, fencing and gymnastics competitions, as well as concerts with a maximum capacity of 17,906 in its largest configuration.
