The ČEZ Aréna is an indoor arena in Ostrava-Jih, Ostrava, Czech Republic. It opened in 1986 and underwent a €23.3 million reconstruction in 2003–2004.
It is the home of ice hockey club HC Vítkovice, and one of the two arenas used for the 2004 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships (the other being the Sazka Arena in Prague). In addition it hosted matches for the 2005 UEFA Futsal Championship.
In December 2008, the arena will play host to the group stage matches of the 2008 Men's World Floorball Championships.
The capacity of the arena is 9 000, plus 18 skyboxes. The rink can be converted into seating for concerts, increasing the capacity to 12,000. Sting, Aerosmith and José Carreras have all held concerts there.
