The Duna Aréna ( German  Danube Arena , also known as Dagály Úszóaréna ) is a swimming complex in the XIII. District (Zugló) of the Hungarian capital Budapest . The swimming pool offers 5,300 seats.

history

The hall, right on the banks of the Danube , was built between 2015 and 2017. The design came from Marcell Ferenc. The facility has two 50 m swimming pools , a plunge pool and a 25 m short course training pool. The venue was actually intended for the 2021 World Swimming Championships . In February 2015, the Mexican city ​​of Guadalajara gave up the 2017 World Swimming Championships for financial reasons. As a result, the world association FINA awarded these title fights to the Hungarian capital. For the world title fights, the Duna Aréna was expanded with around 8,000 temporary seats.

Two years after the World Swimming Championships, the 2019 World Youth Swimming Championships were held in the arena . Budapest is to host the short course world championships in 2024 and the swimming world championships in 2027 with the Duna Aréna . This was announced by FINA on the sidelines of the 2019 World Swimming Championships in South Korea . In addition, the 2020 European Swimming Championships will stop at the Budapest Arena.
