Olympic Park in Stratford, East London will be hosted the London Olympics 2012 Handball Games
London's Olympic bid proposed that there would be four arenas in the Olympic Park, but the revised masterplan published in 2006 reduced this to three, with the volleyball being moved to Earls Court Exhibition Centre. The fencing arena was also cancelled, and the fencing will now take place at ExCeL.
The Handball Arena will have 6,000 to 7,000 seats. It will be used for handball preliminaries and quarter finals and modern pentathlon fencing and shooting during the Olympic Games, and for goalball during the Paralympic Games. The handball semi finals and final will be held at the larger Basketball Arena. The Olympic Delivery Authority plans to submit a planning application in September 2008 and complete the building in 2011. Post 2012 it will be changes to become a multi-sport arena for community use, athlete training and small-to-medium scale events. It will be the only permanent indoor arena retained in the Olympic Park, as the Basketball Arena will be relocated.
