The NTSU Arena ({{zh|t=國立體育大學綜合體育館|p=Guólì Tǐyù Dàxué Zònghé Tǐyùguǎn}}), also known as Linkou Arena or NTSU Multipurpose Gymnasium, is a multi-purpose indoor arena located on the campus of National Taiwan Sport University in Taoyuan, Taiwan. It was opened in September 1986 and is managed by National Taiwan Sport University. The facility has a capacity of around 15,000 seats for sporting events.
Background and history
In response to the Taiwanese government's initiative to promote national sports development, Wang Yung-ching and Wang Yung-tsai, founders of Formosa Plastics, donated land and funds to construct an arena in 1973. In May 1984, the Ministry of Education, recognizing the country's long-term sports development needs, acquired more than 60 hectares of additional land through the expropriation of private land and allocation of state-owned land. This expanded area was designated as the multi-purpose "Linkou Zhongzheng Sports Park."
A sports college was also established to foster athletic talent, oversee park facilities, and fulfill roles in education, training, competition, recreation, and promotional activities. Following the establishment of the National College of Physical Education and Sports on July 1, 1987, the arena was officially transferred to the college's institute for management and operations.{{cite web |title=國立體育大學-球類運動技術學系 沿革 |trans-title=National Taiwan Sport University - Department of Ball Sports Technology History|url=https://iplay.sa.gov.tw/gyminfo/index/2352 |publisher=NTSU |access-date=14 April 2025 |language=zh}}
