KK Partizan - Home Arenas

Home Arenas

Kombank Arena, Partizan's home for Euroleague games.

Partizan play their home games at Pionir Arena, located in the Belgrade municipality of Palilula. Arena was built in 1973 in just 11 months, by the "Energoprojekt" construction company. Basketball in Yugoslavia was then in full swing and although Pionir hosted many different sport events (volleyball, handball) it quickly became known as basketball sanctuary. It has capacity of 8,150 seats. Pionir Arena is also home of Partizan's main rival Crvena zvezda. Before moving in the Pionir Arena, for 24 seasons (1968–1992), Partizan played their home games at New Belgrade Sport Hall, located in Belgrade municipality of New Belgrade. In the 2008–09 season, Partizan played their home games of the Euroleague Top 16 in the Kombank Arena. On March 5, 2009 against Greek powerhouse Panathinaikos a record crowd of 22,567 was set for the Euroleague (and also for any basketball club game held indoors in Europe).

In the first 23 years (1945–1968), the club played their home games at Open basketball courts on Belgrade Fortress before moving to New Belgrade Sport Hall.
