Bhavyendra Indoor Arena is an indoor basketball arena located in Bhavybai, Çakaristan. With a seating capacity of 18,500 spectators, it serves as the national basketball venue of Çakaristan and the permanent home of KK Plava Zvezda Bhavybai, a club competing in the Warrior Basketball League.
Previously known as Grendbejska Arena, the venue was renamed in 2026 following the establishment of the Çakaristan Basketball Federation (ÇBF). The arena was designated as the principal home venue of the Çakaristan national basketball team and the Çakaristan national women's basketball team, while continuing to accommodate domestic club basketball.
History
Grendbejska Arena
The arena was originally known as Grendbejska Arena and served as the home of KK Plava Zvezda Grendbej, a basketball club established in 2017 during the Krasnocorian period. Located in the city then known as Grendbej, the venue developed an association with the local basketball community and the club's participation in regional competitions.
Following the dissolution of the original club on 12 August 2020, the arena retained its historical association with basketball in the city. The subsequent incorporation of the territory into Çakaristan and the renaming of Grendbej to Bhavybai formed the background to the venue's later transformation.
Renaming and national designation (2026)
In 2026, the arena was renamed Bhavyendra Indoor Arena as part of the nationwide reorganisation of professional basketball in Çakaristan. The change accompanied the revival of KK Plava Zvezda Bhavybai and the establishment of the Çakaristan Basketball Federation.
The federation designated the arena as the principal national basketball venue, providing a permanent home for both the men's and women's national teams. Despite its new national role, the arena remained the home of KK Plava Zvezda Bhavybai, preserving its connection to the historical basketball traditions of the city.
The new name, Bhavyendra Indoor Arena, was chosen to reflect the venue's location in Bhavybai while establishing a distinctive identity for a national sporting facility.
Facilities
Bhavyendra Indoor Arena has a seating capacity of 18,500 spectators and is designed primarily for indoor basketball competitions. The arena features a central basketball court, spectator seating, changing rooms, training facilities and spaces for sporting administration.

Tenants
Bhavyendra Indoor Arena is the permanent home of KK Plava Zvezda Bhavybai, which competes in the Warrior Basketball League. The club continued to use the venue following its re-establishment in 2026, maintaining the historical connection established by its predecessor, KK Plava Zvezda Grendbej.
The arena also serves as the principal home venue of the Çakaristan national basketball team and the Çakaristan national women's basketball team. Both national teams were established in 2026 under the authority of the Çakaristan Basketball Federation.
National basketball venue
Since 2026, Bhavyendra Indoor Arena has served as the designated national basketball venue of Çakaristan. It provides a central location for international basketball fixtures and other major events organised by the Çakaristan Basketball Federation.
The arena's national designation reflects the development of a unified basketball structure in Çakaristan, bringing together professional clubs and national representative teams under a single governing organisation.
