From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Figali Convention Center is an indoor sporting arena located in Fort Amador, Panama City, Panama. It has a high-class structure and architecture, making it one of the best if not the best Convention Center in Central America.

The capacity of the arena is 10,275. It was built in 2003 as the main venue for the Miss Universe 2003 Pageant which took place in Panama that year. Since then, the Figali Convention Center has been used mainly for many concerts and sports events as boxing and ice skating.
