BASKETBALL
ARENA

The Romanian Basketball Federation (FRB) was founded in 1931 and is cofounder (1932) of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA). The Romanian Basketball Federation is comprised of local county basketball federations and promotes basketball excellence.

Consistent with its objective, the Romanian Basketball Federation intended to restore the most important Basketball Arena in Bucharest, in accordance with International Basketball Federation Standards. A deal was closed with Global Vision, due to its significant expertise in building many different types of structures, as well as its diverse service offerings: property development, project management, building construction & civil engineering and property management.

After completing the infrastructure and utility development, as well as the restoration’s project design, Global Vision assumed the actual construction tasks: complete restoration, capital repairs, roof renovation, fire protection systems for both metallic and non-metallic structures, façade renovation (including thermal isolation and aesthetic renovation) and a complete floor upgrade in accordance with the FIBA quality and elasticity standards. Moreover, Global Vision replaced all the sanitary installations and installed the HVAC and power-supply systems. Global Vision’s engineers were also responsible for the 10,500 sqm vertical systematization and on-site civil engineering (repairing of roads, landscape architecture, alleys and parking lots).

Based on the outstanding track record in facility management, FRB entrusted cleaning, security & access control, technical maintenance and IT & Administration management services to Global Vision.

After 5 months of work and a €1,500,000 investment, the new Basketball Arena (2,000 sqm on 10,000 sqm property) was delivered to the client. Located in Bucharest, within the largest national sports complex (Lia Manoliu), the Basketball Arena is the first Romanian basketball hall entirely and uniquely dedicated to this sport.

The arena meets the highest standards in basketball and is fully equipped and compliant with FIBA standards for hosting international championships and prestigious basketball competitions. Its capacity exceeds 500 people.

The Basketball Arena is the crown jewel of the Romanian Basketball Federation and its 75-year anniversary was highly celebrated with the inauguration of this exceptional and modern facility.
