The Dakar Arena

This multipurpose sports hall with a seating capacity of 15,000 is the home of Senegal’s men’s and women’s national basketball teams.

Sunshade ’leaves’ in Senegalese colours taper in size as they rise along the exterior, whilst the parabolic seating indoors enables universal access and uninterrupted views from every seat. Dakar Arena is as much an urban plaza as an event space for the locals.
