The Aleksandar Nikolić Hall (Serbian: Хала Александар Николић / Hala Aleksandar Nikolić), formerly known as Pionir Hall or Pionir Arena (Serbian: Хала Пионир / Hala Pionir), is an indoor sports arena in Belgrade, Serbia, located in the Belgrade municipality of Palilula. The official seating capacity of the arena is 5,878.
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 Belgrade, and foreign clubs.
The arena hosted the final round of EuroBasket 1975, the final of the EuroLeague's 1976–77 season (in which Maccabi Tel Aviv defeated Pallacanestro Varese), and the FIBA EuroCup's 1997–98 season final. In October 1989, the 16th World Judo Championships took place in Pionir Hall.
The arena hosted several preliminary round games of the EuroBasket 2005 and 2013 World Women's Handball Championship.
On 23 February 2016, the name of the arena was changed from Pionir Hall to Hall Aleksandar Nikolić, after the former basketball player and coach, Aleksandar "Aca" Nikolić.
