SAP Garden – a location in a class of its own
One of the most impressive and modern sports venues and an exclusive guided tour of the arena await you.
Opened in September 2024, this multifunctional arena is not only a highlight for major sporting competitions but also the perfect setting for exceptional events. SAP Garden stands out through its unique combination of functionality, aesthetics, architectural excellence, sustainability, and societal impact.
For good reason, the arena was included in the list of the world’s most beautiful sports venues by the renowned Prix Versailles. SAP Garden has now also been nominated for the UNESCO Architecture Award in the category World’s Most Beautiful Arenas 2025.
