Profiles

The Elektrum Olympic Centre (Latvian: Elektrum Olimpiskais centrs), until 2016: Olympic Sports Centre, Olimpiskais sporta centrs) is a indoor multi-functional sports facility in Rīga, Latvia, which was opened in 2005 at the former location of the Riga hippodrome by the Latvian Olympic Committee as part of a nation-wide network of olympic centres designed to improve the training and competition facilities of Latvian athletes.

The Olympic Sports Centre covers the area of approximately 24.000 square meters and can be used by more than 2.000 visitors per day. The centre offers a multifunctional sports hall, an artificial turf football hall, facilities for basketball, volleyball, beach volleyball, athletics, swimming, gymnastics and aerobic training, as well as office spaces and a café. The headquarters of the Latvian Football Federation are located at the centre. In 2009, the centre was awarded the “European Healthy Stadia” status.

The arena has hosted a variety of sporting competitions, as well as concerts, seminars and exhibitions, such as the 2006 NATO Riga Summit. It was the second arena of the 2016 Men's World Floorball Championships, the first being Arēna Rīga.
