Helsinki Arena Set to Reopen This Spring After Resolution of Ownership Issues

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • Helsinki’s main sports and entertainment venue is anticipated to reopen in spring 2025 after being closed since February 2022 due to sanctions against its Russian owners.
  • The arena, formerly known as Helsinki Ice Hall, was left disused, without utilities, as its owners were subject to EU and US sanctions following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
  • In November 2024, a deal was reached with Trevian, a Finnish real estate company, to purchase the arena, pending approval from local and EU authorities.
  • City officials highlighted a significant economic impact due to the arena's closure, which resulted in an estimated €400m loss in revenue from local businesses.
  • If final approvals are granted, the venue aims to return to being a premier location for cultural events and international sports, likened to Madison Square Garden.
