The Ogarev Arena (Russian: Огарёв Арена) is a multifunctional sports venue in Saransk, the capital of the Republic of Mordovia, Russian Federation. Constructed in 2021, it consists of two tiers and can accommodate up to 7,500 spectators.[5] It is primarily equipped for hockey and ice skating, and includes gyms and choreographic halls.[10]
Initially named Saransk Arena (Russian: Саранск Арена), it was laid down in 2011 but was only completed a decade later, and was opened on 25 December 2021.[5] On 1 November 2022, the venue was transferred to N.P. Ogarev Mordovia State University and became federal property.[11][10] Following a public vote on social media on 3 April 2023, the arena was renamed to "Ogarev Arena".[12]
The 2024 Russian Junior Figure Skating Championships was held in the venue.[13]
