Telegraf in Abu Dhabi: This is Etihad Arena - Serbia will play against the Dream Team in a "spaceship"
The magnificent Etihad Arena, an oasis of sports and entertainment events on the shores of the Yas Bay in Abu Dhabi, is the site of a spectacle in which the Serbian national basketball team will play against the United States, aka "the Dream Team," as well as against Australia.
This imposing venue was chosen as the place for the "clash" and judging by the first impressions, organizers could not have made a better choice.
That Americans also know very well where they are coming and have a taste for good and beautiful things, can be seen by the outward appearance that leaves you breathless.
Tucked away not far from the famous Formula 1 track, between luxury neighborhoods and the sea, on the Yas island, Etihad Arena stands out as one of the favorite places for the city's residents.
Designed by famous architects, with an 18,000-seat capacity, the Etihad Arena has become synonymous with an ultimate sports experience and spectacular concerts. It was opened in January 2021, and in since then in a short time hosted numerous important sports and entertainment events.
The first that marked the beginning of the venue0s era were UFC fights, Poirier vs. McGregor and Blachowicz vs. Teixeira among them.
In addition to martial arts, the arena has also hosted other major events such as the 2021 World Swimming Championships, with a temporary pool specially added for the occasion. The NBA also had a historic moment here when the Atlanta Hawks and the Milwaukee Bucks played their first preseason games in this part of the world.
Music has not lagged far behind sport, as Imagine Dragons and Guns N' Roses held unforgettable concerts here in front of enthusiastic audiences. Etihad Arena has thus become an must-visit place on the map as far as the global entertainment industry, attracting the world's biggest stars and providing visitors with a unique experience.
It will also be remembered that Serbia honed its form for a medal in this very hall, against Australia on July 16, as well as against the US a day later.
