The Aleksandar Nikolić Hall (Serbian: Хала Александар Николић, romanized: Hala Aleksandar Nikolić), formerly known as Pionir Hall (Serbian: Хала Пионир, romanized: Hala Pionir), is an indoor sports arena located in Palilula, Belgrade, Serbia.
[3][4][5] It was renamed in 2016 in honour of Serbian basketball player and coach Aleksandar Nikolić.
The hall is well known for its frequent matches between different basketball clubs, especially Crvena Zvezda (Red Star Belgrade), Partizan, and foreign clubs.Projected by Ljiljana and Dragoljub Bakić, the hall has been described as the "architectural icon of the postmodernist Belgrade".
