The hall is used for basketball, handball, indoor football, volleyball, and other sports.[1]

The venue was opened on 24 May 1974 and was originally known as the "Vоždovac Pioneers Home". It has a total floor area of 5,814 m2 (62,580 sq ft) and includes a sports hall with 2,000 seats and a hall with the stage with 350 seats. Due to the lack of funds and bad maintenance, the venue has been in bad financial situation since the late 1980s and especially since the 2000s.[2]

The venue was partially reconstructed (congress hall, press hall, roof) in September–November 2017.[3]
