History

[edit]

The 18,000 seat arena was designed by the German architecture firm Gerkan, Marg and Partners (GMP) and constructed for the 2011 Summer Universiade, which was hosted by Shenzhen. It opened in August 2011 and was used as a venue for basketball at the 2011 Summer Universiade, hosting games for both the men's tournament and women's tournament. In official 2011 Universiade documents, the arena is referred to as the "Main Gymnasium of Universiade Center" (Chinese: 大运中心主体育馆; pinyin: Dàyùn Zhōngxīn Zhǔ Tǐyùguǎn).
