Reconstruction
The sports centre was completely reconstructed in 2011 as it was previously seen unfit to host the group stage of 2012 European Men's Handball Championship. The reconstruction has been done according to highest European standards and criteria submitted by EHF, currently making Čair the most modern sporting hall in Serbia. It is fully equipped to host the biggest sports events. It satisfies high standards of sports federations referring to provision of the unhampered communication between the organizers, spectators, sportsmen and media.
The first match played in the Hall since it was reconstructed was between the senior women’s handball national teams of Serbia and Greece, on October 19, 2011 within EHF for Women 2012 Championship Qualifications.
