Pinki Cultural and Sports Center (Serbian Cyrillic:Културно-спортски центар Пинки), commonly known asPinki Hall (Serbian Cyrillic:Хала Пинки), is an indoor multi-sports venue located inBelgrade's municipality ofZemun,Serbia. The venue has an indoor hall and an indoorswimming pool. The hall has a seating capacity of 2,300 for sports events and around 5,000 for concerts.
Opened on 21 October 1974, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary ofZemun being liberated from theNazis and their puppet stateIndependent State of Croatia, the hall has hosted variousbasketball,handball, andvolleyball teams. Its initial full official name wasDom sportova, omladine i pionira Pinki (Pinki Home of Sports, Youth and Pioneers). It now mostly serves for recreational use. It is the only sports venue in the city of Belgrade not financed by the city government, because Zemun's municipal government headed by theSerbian Radical Party (SRS) in 2000 transformed the venue's controlling entity into a publicly traded company and sold the controlling stake (49%) toNaftna industrija Srbije (NIS) oil company.[citation needed]
The venue is named afterBoško Palkovljević Pinki, a prominentPartisan fighter duringWorld War II in Yugoslavia and aPeople's Hero of Yugoslavia.
