Officially the State Revenue Committee Under the Government of the Republic of Armenia Sports Hall (Armenian: Հայաստանի Հանրապետության Կառավարության Առընթեր Պետական Եկամուտների Կոմիտեի Մարզադահլիճ), abbreviated as KAPEK Sports Hall (Armenian: ԿԱՊԵԿ Մարզադահլիճ), and commonly known as Mika Sports Arena (Armenian: Միկա Մարզադահլիճ),, is a multi-purpose sports arena located in the Shengavit District of Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. It has a capacity of 1,550 spectators.
The arena was constructed in 2009 by the Mika Corporation Ltd., the owners of the currently-defunct football club Mika FC. It is located near the Mika Stadium.
Mika Sports Arena is currently home to the Armenia national basketball team. It was also home to the short-lived BC Urartu Yerevan basketball team during 2016.
The construction of the Mika Sports Complex was launched in 2006 on the grounds of the former Araks sports complex. The football stadium was completed in 2008, while the indoor sports arena was put in service by 2009.
The arena was owned by the Mika Corporation until 2014. However, on August 28, 2014, due to the accumulated debts of the owners, the ownership of the entire sport complex was transferred to the Government of Armenia for AMD 9.045 billion (US$22 million).
The arena occasionally hosts domestic basketball, handball, footsal and volleyball competitions. It is also one of the regular venues of the Pan-Armenian Games.
