Ivanofio Indoor Hall opened in 1987, to host the games of
Iraklis Thessaloniki. It is owned by
G.S. Iraklis Thessalonikis, and was named after
Jerzy Iwanow-Szajnowicz, a
Polish athlete of G.S. Iraklis Thessalonikis, and a member of the
Greek resistance, who was executed in 1943 in
Athens by the
Axis occupation forces. Expansion works took place in 1991, to increase the capacity from 1,300 to 2,580. Ivanofio has hosted games of the
Greek Basketball League, the
EuroLeague, the
Korać Cup, and the
Saporta Cup. Iraklis Thessaloniki fans refer to Ivanofio as "o Naos" (), which is Greek for "the
Temple". Apart from Iraklis Thessaloniki, Ivanofio hosted the home games of
Aris Thessaloniki during the 2003–04 season. Ivanofio also hosts non-sports activities, such as music concerts. == Gallery ==
