History

The arena is the first indoor arena in Shenzhen, which was built as one of the eight major facilities for the newly designated special economic zone. [3] Aside from sport events, it also hosted important political events such as the tenth and twentieth anniversary of the founding of Shenzhen. [4]

In 2018, it was decided that Shenzhen Sports Center would undergo a renovation due to aging facilities and the arena will be rebuilt. [3] The renovation project was started in 2020 and the new arena was finished in 2024. The first event to be held in the new arena was a Chinese Basketball League match between Shenzhen Leopards against Jiangsu Kentier. [5]
