Etihad has secured exclusive naming rights for the Yas Bay Arena, a new multipurpose indoor entertainment venue in Abu Dhabi. Via an agreement with the arena’s developer, Miral, the new venue will be officially named the Etihad Arena.
The Etihad Arena, which will be operated by Flash Entertainment, has been designed to accommodate large-scale and private events, offering unique flexibility with a capacity ranging from 200 to 18,000 people. Once open, the venue will host a variety of events including sporting competitions, corporate events, cultural performances, concerts, and many other appealing activities throughout the year.
Etihad Arena is part of Yas Bay, a mixed-use development located on the southern end of Yas Island.
