History

The sports center "22 December" was opened in 1973, as largest sports center in the city of Niš. Later, its name was changed to "Čair Sports Center".

It was completely reconstructed in 2011 for the needs of 2012 European Men's Handball Championship, as it was named one of tournament's venues.[2] The reconstruction has been done according to highest European standards and criteria submitted by EHF, making Čair one of the most modern sporting halls in Serbia.[2]

The first match played in the Hall since it was reconstructed was between the senior women's handball national teams of Serbia and Greece, on 19 October 2011 within EHF for Women 2012 Championship Qualifications.[3]
