The Arena Carioca 1 is a multi-purpose hall in the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Park , which is connected to two other halls.
history
The Arena Carioca 1 was built for the 2016 Summer Olympics on the site of a former racetrack. Construction work on the 38,000 square meter hall began in July 2013. The arena is 33 meters high and has a facade made of two different types of wood, which is adapted to the mountain landscape of the city. After construction work was completed in January 2016, the arena was opened with a basketball tournament from January 15 to 17. The arena has 282 rooms, eight changing rooms and six elevators. During the Olympic Games, up to 16,000 spectators could watch the men's basketball games taking place there and the final round of the women's basketball tournament. As part of the subsequent Paralympics , the competitions in wheelchair rugby and wheelchair basketball were held in the hall. After the games, the capacity was reduced to 6000 spectators and the hall became part of the Brazilian Olympic training center and home of the Flamengo basketball team .
In 2017, the final of the FIBA Intercontinental Cup and a qualifying match between the Brazilian national basketball team and Venezuela took place in the hall .
In January 2020, a court ordered the temporary closure of all sports facilities in Rio de Janeiro's Olympic Park due to a lack of security documents .
