With a seating capacity of 3,500 spectators, the arena is designated to host basketball, handball and volleyball matches.

Al-Assad Sports Arena is located in the central al-Jamiliyah district of Aleppo.

However, the process was delayed several times due to political instability and the 1973 war with Israel.

Finally, in 1978, the construction was completed and the arena was opened to host the matches of the Syrian Basketball League.
