The largest sports hall in Bulgaria. With partners from Switzerland, Horizont-⁠Ivanov fabricated and erected 1,600 t of roof steelwork.

The multifunctional Arena Sofia, formerly Arena Armeec, is the largest sports hall in Bulgaria. It seats 12,500, and for concerts the capacity can be raised to 16,000 and even 19,000.

Together with its partners from Switzerland, Horizont-⁠Ivanov fabricated and erected 1,600 t of complex roof steelwork – practically the whole roof of the hall. The steel was fabricated at the company’s plant in Pleven, then transported to the site and erected.
