Porte de La Chapelle Arena (also known by its project name Paris Arena II and its trade name Adidas Arena) is a future multi-purpose and modular hall located in La Chapelle neighborhood of Paris (18th arrondissement).[1]
The arena will have a capacity of 8,000 seats for sporting events and 9,000 seats for concerts and shows, as well as two gymnasiums intended for use by local clubs and residents.[2] Under construction since the beginning of March 2020,[3] it is expected to be delivered in the spring of 2024.[4]
Usage
It was originally intended to host the wrestling events and men's preliminary basketball tournament of the 2024 Summer Olympics, before hosting the Paralympic table tennis tournament.[3] Finally, the Olympic events of badminton then rhythmic gymnastics will take place there, followed by Para badminton and powerlifting. As soon as the arena is built, it will become the residence of Paris Basketball, as well as PSG Handball for its larger games.[5] It will also host the quarter-finals and semi-finals of the 2024 League of Legends World Championship in esports.[6]
Naming rights
The construction carried the project name Paris Arena II. In July 2022, it was announced that the arena will receive the sponsor name Adidas Aréna, after the German sporting goods manufacturer Adidas. Adidas signed a deal with the operating company SAE POPB, which also manages the Accor Arena and the Bataclan theatre. The agreement runs for five years with a possible seven-year extension. Adidas pays 2.8 million euros annually. Activists urged the arena should be named in honour of Alice Milliat (1884–1957), a French athlete, sports official and campaigner for women's rights. She organized the first Women's World Games in Paris. In early July 2022, the Paris City Council approved the sponsor's name change by a vote of 33 to 17, with 26 abstentions.[7] Shortly before, the city council decided that the future esplanade in front of the arena will be given the name of Alice Milliat.[8]
