Palasport Olimpico, officially operating with the sponsored name Inalpi Arena except during events prohibiting sponsorship names when it is usually known as simply PalaOlimpico, or occasionally PalaIsozaki after its architect, is a multi-purpose indoor arena located within Torino Olympic Park in the Santa Rita district of Turin, Italy. Opened in December 2005, the arena has a seating capacity of 16,600 when it is configured for basketball, and it is the largest indoor sporting arena in Italy.
The arena was originally built at a cost of €87 million, for the 2006 Winter Olympics, and along with the Torino Esposizioni, it hosted the ice hockey events. It is a few metres east of the Olympic Stadium. Since 2021, the Inalpi Arena has been the host venue of the tennis ATP Finals.
Between 8 August 2014 and January 2024, the arena was renamed to Pala Alpitour following a sponsorship deal with Italian travel company Alpitour and in November 2020 became the fifth arena, the first in Italy, to be admitted as a member to the International Venue Alliance circuit. On 11 January 2024, a five-year agreement was announced with Inalpi (a dairy company based in Moretta) to become the new naming sponsor of the arena, which thus becomes Inalpi Arena.
