Ano Liosia Olympic Hall was used to host to judo and wrestling at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. The arena seats up to 9,300, but only 6,000 seats were made available for the Olympics. The hall is situated in Ano Liosia, a suburb northwest of central Athens. It can be used as a multi-sport and multi-purpose arena.

History

After the Olympics, the venue became the site of various television productions, including the Greek version of the reality show So You Think You Can Dance. It is the future home of the Hellenic Academy of Culture and Hellenic Digital Archive.

From May 19 to June 6, 2010, the arena hosted the Greek National Ice Hockey Championships for both men and women.
