History

[edit]

The arena, which was originally named Ballsporthalle Frankfurt, opened in 1988. It has been the home arena of the German professional basketball club the Fraport Skyliners since 1999. The arena was renamed Fraport Arena, after Frankfurt International Airport obtained its sponsorship naming rights in 2011.[1]

The arena hosts the local annual indoor football tournament, with six teams from the region, such as Eintracht Frankfurt and Kickers Offenbach. The arena hosted the German Davis Cup Team in 2014, 2015, and 2017. It also hosted the German men's national volleyball team, in the FIVB Volleyball World League.
